With what your goals are i would Talk to your trans builder Jake. He knows his stuff and won’t sell you more than what you need.

Yes they do, I've seen the inside of both Yank's and Circle D. I've been to Circle D in Houston personally and seen there whole facility. Chris showed me how they build almost all there own parts in house (many CNC machines) where the competition buys parts and just assemble them. Circle D converters are top notch!

PTC is what most turbo guys run. Never heard a bad thing about them! I currently run a yank 3400 single that circle d rebuilt to a 2b. It is way to tight down low. My next converter will be a PTC. Ive used FTI before with nitrous setups without issues as well.

You're going to be above my power but Ive had Yank, FTI and now Precision. All have worked for their jobs. I went from tt3000 Yank to 3000 FTI when my trans blew up. I went from FTI to Precision when my trans blew up again. This Precision is their triple disk $1200 converter.

My transmission builder specd the FTI unit for me but we underestimated the trucks power. Once we broke 500 wheel we should have upgraded converters. Then I broke 600 wheel and a couple transmission issues later, burned up the converter with pieces and to much power. Either way Id say your looking at north of 1200 bucks for a converter.
