I don't know but I'd stay away from TCI. Pretty loose converter regardless of STR from what I have felt and heard...
If it is a DD, I'd HIGHLY recommend going with the Trailblazer SS converter rebuilt by Circle D (they are a sponsor here). I just put it in my car (cam'd car, built tranny) and LOVE IT.
Stall is 3200-3500 and it feels very tight, damn near stock, on the street... It was $350 shipped to my door brand new.

The base $500 TCI converters are complete crap they use a Calvalier 4 cylinder converter core with an adapter ring and they retain the stock 4 cylinder lock up clutch.
Lock up that TCI converter up on the Dyno and I guarantee you'll be shelling out money for a new transmission.
Do it once, do it right, Vig or Yank all the way. Circle D also makes some cool custom converters depending on what your application needs...
I see in your sig you plan on camming the car soon... If you want that car to rip on the track and drive like stock I'd recommend a Vigilante 3600 or a Yank SS4000. Both will drive awesome on the street and knock .5 to .7 off your ET

Heres an idea of what you get when you buy a 400-500 TCI or Fuddle....

For a 4l60e I would go yank, they are on the bottom end of the high end converters so they are a pretty good converter for the price. They work really good in the 4l60e as well, I would know
