Default help picking a converter?

1994 C1500, stock rear end, stock gears, stock 4l60E
5.3 out of 2003 Silverado
build has:
Comp XFI cam, XER273HR, pn#54-444
hardened pushrods
comp rocker arm trunnion mod
lunati titanium valve train

looking for a converter that will be easy daily driving, car will never see drag strip, only a little spirited driving from time to time.

I'll post the cam specs to make it easy, it's a 224/230 114 LSA. There are only a million part numbers for cam out there now.

What are the stock gear?

2500-3000 stall would be fine.

i haven't opened up the rear end to look
that year truck either came with 3.08, 3.42, or 3.73
anyone recommend a brand, I want something easy to drive, as this is mine and my wife's project, she's a tiny girl, so if its overly aggressive, it'll be tough for her to drive.

Post up a picture of the sticker in the glovebox, we can figure out the axle ratio for you with the RPO codes
