He recommended the Street Edge for me, I told him I plan on running 700+ hp though it. He said he puts the anti-ballooning plates in all his converters. Oh, and he is even making it with the longer snout and 3 mounting tabs so it will built right to my flex plate without any crank spacers or anything.
That's awesome.

I like that it won't effect the towing and driveabliity. I towed a Vette around 200 miles last night, all interested and very hilly. It wasn't bad at all, if it stayed very close to stock with better stall that would match the cam and motor I am building. I sent them an email and I am waiting. I guess we will see what they say

I had a 9.5in 2800 Edge converter in my rcsb and it was a little too loose for street driving.I can't say it wasn't fun flashing to 4200rpm when you stab it but always driving at 2800-3000 kinda sucks gas.

Andre @ Edge is the man!! Like noted above he will talk to you about your setup and goals, and build the 'verter that will best suit you.
I had him spec a 9.5" 2800ish for my LT1 Caprice I had a few years back.
The converter was a little looser than I had originally expected, but I grew to LOVE it. I was running 3.08 gears, so that will make it feel loose I recon.
I towed frequently with the car over long distances, and never had the trans over 180.

I don't have one myself, but a good friend is using one in his '78 Regal and he loves it. He's not running a lot of power through it, only about 400 hp or so, but it's doing really good for him.
