Default What 4l80e converter?

Hey everyone. Just wondering what converter everyone ids using.
what I have is 2000 Silverado single cab step side, guessing about 4k weight 6.0, flat tops, 799 heads milled .020, sloppy stage 3 cam tbss intake 92mm throttle body, vs racing 78/75 turbo 4l80e. 4:10 rear gear 29.5 rear tire.
im sure I left something out.
i forgot. Its a street truck that will see some track. Goal would be a drag n drive type deal
thanks

Circle D is a popular choice. I'd call them and ask what they'd recommend

Between a 2850 and a 3200 depending on how much street driving you do.

Definitely Circle D. Tripple disc. They will spec the correct stall based on your specs.
