Again, I second what Don has to say about Frank Lupa and the converters
that Dynamic manufactures.
They are about the only one in the industry doing R&D constantly on
converters. Most other people
just try to copy. But here is the really big bonus, when you call, your
talking to Mopar racers. They
know what they are doing. Da Kind Bro.

A 10 inch converter will not work properly with that much engine. first
to make a ten inch converter come up with that much stall you have to
make it very loose and inefficient. That makes for a converter that has
the charcterisic we all hate in a converter , that big windup everytime
you pull away from a stop light as well it slips constantly some as high
a 10%. Most of us have been there and some still are. A smaller
converter like a 9 inch gives hi stall whe needed because the motor can
overdirve it when necessary (Hi stall brake launch. but will drive
absolutely normal (you won't even know you have a converter in the car
except that it will allow the engine to idle with the big cam etc) There
is for me only one supplier I now use. Frank Lupo's Dynamic Converters.
The 9 inch is also 3 to 4 tenths quicker in the quarter and finish line
RPM is often 2-3mph higher despite thefact that finish line Rpm is often
a couple of hundred RPM lower. (This is becuase the converter is very
efficient and doesn't slip like the 10" (also runs cooler for the same
reason) There is little perfomance than can be had easier than what one
gets from one of Franks converters. I think many other son the list will
second that. 
There is a place for the 10" converter. A mild engine with a mild cam
(under 230 @ 050 would be fine with a ,ild 10 inch. 
In the old days we used 340 converters behind our mild street  bigblocks
with great success.
