Default What size converter are you turbo guys running?

Im just curious as to what everybody else is running. I know it depends on the setup. I myself have a 75/75 on a 5.3 with a 224/228 @114 and Im running a 2800 yank with a 3.42 gear (6l80 BTW).

Circle D 265mm triple disk, 3A Stalls about 3600 in my truck in boost. I really like it. I like a tight converter though, wouldn't mind it one bit if it was a 2A.

Had a PI 9.5" 3k triple in my 07. It would flash to 28-3000 but would brake boost to 4400. It was too loose for my liking so I had it tightened to flash to ~ 2400 and brake to ~ 3500. I liked it MUCH better as a DD. In storage.

Choda if i were you i would not get the street brawler id go with the circle d 278mm instead call chris and have him show you there bearing and what they use..i just had the 2nd street brawler mess up in the passed 2 months both with the bearing coming apart and ruining both transmissions..however i have used about 8 of them with goodluck but 2 failures back to back is not acceptable for us

Would those two failures be from vehicles equipped with turbos? The only reason I ask is because I was looking at the Street brawler for my 2001 trans am with bolt ons.
