Converter Suggestion for Turbo 416 SB

[71Demon340]

If anyone has any experience with turbocharged applications I would appreciate some advice on converter stall speed. I have a 416 stroker that I want to turbocharge. I plan on running somewhere around 5-8 psi boost and driving mostly on the street, but will see some track time. I don't care if there is a little slippage on the street because its not going to be an everyday driver. I know that the turbo needs to spool and the converter will have significant influence on this. I will be running 3.55 gears. I haven't selected a cam yet, but I plan on going a little more radical than what would normally be put in a turbo motor. I will keep the LSA at 112 or 114 though to prevent blow by. Thanks in advance.

I have some experence with turbo Buicks. Load on a turbo will build more boost than just spooling it up, but you need both for optimum boost. The best thing to do it contact a convertor company like Dynamic, Coan or such and they will build a convertor to match your package. Don't bother calling TCI they will just recommend an off the shelf convertor.
