Default 6l80e converter questions

Hello everyone. Been out of the Chevy game since my Sierra went down but I'm back. I have a 2011 Cadillac Escalade esv that's going to need a transmission rebuild soon so I'm going to need a new converter. I'm about to install a comp cams 214/226 .500/.500 115+6 cam in a month or so. It's a dd/family hauler so I dont want/need a 3k rpm stall converter. Does any reputable shops make a 2200-2400 rpm stall converter? Has anyone used one of the 278mm circle-d units? The lowest they have listed is a 2600-2800 but they say it drives like stock unless you get on it.

used the circle d 278 for about a year, its not a bad piece but its mostly just a stock converter reworked for a higher stall.
I put it in the same time i did cam/bolt ons so i cant compared it fairly to the stock converter but that was about all the hp it could handle.
swapped it out later for a billet triple disc and picked up half a second in 1/4 miles times
