Need some stall converter suggestions

[IZBLOWN]

Hey guys, i took the truck to the track friday night, and really noticed how much TQ you lose down low with the head/cam package i am using. This thing is a slug off the line. Best 60' i pulled was a 1.78, and the truck was NOT spinning, but it makes monster HP on the top end, trapped damn near 119 (on 15lbs boost no less). Was [email protected], and judging by the MPH i know its good for mid 11's. My question is, what converter is the most efficient out of the selection? I realize the PI converters are nice, but i have a hard time laying down close to $1k for a converter. The truck is a DD, so i was thinking between 26-2800rpm stall. I have some experience with converters, some good some bad, but know nothing about the good and the bad with these trucks. I was thinking the art carr, any good? Any suggestions/help is appreciated.

Art, what stall speed did you go with? And did it make that big of a difference? Did it scrub top end? Sorry for all the questions.

Yea they do. I dont think the whole problem is the stall converter though, i think it still needs some fine tuning, even without a converter, it should still 60' better than that, thanks for the help guys!

I went with a 3k stall, a little outrageous. you have to rev it about 200 rpm more than usual. but you won't notice it unless you drive a stock lightning again. top speed or hyway theres no difference. it's a lock up converter so it locks up in OD. but i've been putting 1.5s 60ft for a long time.

Damn, 1.5's, that is nuts! Cant wait till i do that! That is awesome man.
