Default Which Torque Convertor?

Ok ole wise one's....Which torque convertor to get. Lisa's truck as of this weekend will have the 220/220/.581 lift on a 112LSA cam,Dual Valve Springs,7.4 chromoly hardended rods,LS2 timing chain,Vette servo,Transgo shift kit,Headers,ORY,Cut-out,CAI,E-fans,Wheatley tune,but not shure on which convertor to go with...Getting the 4.10's installed next then the convetor but which one? Recommendation? But we also have to remember this is her only vehicle and daily driver so it has to be streetable.
Yank? TCI? SONNAX? Performabuilt? ATI? and the reasons why you chose that one for?

I would def go with a yank. I am not to sure if ATI has verters for 4l60's, but if they do between the yank and them would be a great choice. If yah don't care bout gas, go with a 3200, it isn't much diff as far as fuel milage goes..

PI and Yank both make outstanding converters, Yank makes an 'economical' converter with the TT line and both offer billet heavy duty premium ones. I would avoid the TCI's just from what I've 'heard' over the last couple of years.

btw I moved this to the GM drive-train section!
