Default roots blower gurus

Need help with finding the right size stall. I was running a 278 3200 circle d which i feel was not appropriate for my truck. The truck is a RCSB 4.8 with an mp112 on 13psi, full meth injection and a 218/222 114 lsa cam. Recently my trans went bye bye so i went ahead and sold my stall and Im in need of a new one. Feel free to chime in or ask questions

I recommend staying close to the 3000rpm mark with a 10.5"(268mm) converter. I have a 10.5 that was spec'ed to 3200 that flashes ~3500 at the track and I feel it is a little too much off the hit but the shift extension is very nice. Shoot for a 2800 if you go with a 9.5"(245mm). The 10.5 will feel a bit tighter at part throttle.

*Roger's recommendation of the SC3000 falls inline with my advice above, however there are other manufacturers, such as CircleD, FTI, etc, that can build a great converter as well.
