Sounds like a real good combination to me. The TT3000 is nice for a Daily Driver, but as your power goes up it can add to traction problems in a 2wd. For example, if a Radix is in your future, I'd go with less of a converter. If you plan to stay N/A, the TT3000 (or the likes from PI) is a great converter. I've been loving mine for over 2 years. Anything over about 350rwhp and it's prob. too much for stock tires to cope with. Even I can fight with traction problems at times with only 300rwhp.

I had a comp 216/220 .529/.532 114 on my 04 crew cab and really liked it. I was running a hughes 2500 converter w/3.90's which worked great, but would have been perfect with a 2800-3000 stall. It got me down to 14.2's in 85* weather, I know it had 13's in it. I still would have liked more lope to it, but with the cutouts open, you could definitely tell it was there.
I am toying with the idea of a Comp Custom Grind right now for my ECSB. Looking at a 214/220 .559/.564 111.5. Has a bit more overlap than the 216/220 and more lift. Pair it up with a 2600-3000 stall and possibly 4.10's then add an LS6 intake down the road.
