Anyone Using SLP 2400 Convertor?

I am deciding on a convertor upgrade soon.
This is for my 88 L98 with auto (rebuilt already with shift kit).
I am finished with engine mods so now is the time to decide. Aftermarket lower intake and runners, stock heads and cam. I have upgraded valve springs and 1.6 RR's.

I tried a Vig 2800 stall last year and yes it is streetable but I think it misses out on too much of a basically stock L98's power band.

I recently got a pair of ET Streets and can hook at the track so traction is not an issue. I'm thinking the 2400 would be about right for my combo.

I have the SLP (2400 stall) torque convertor with a mild 350 and it is a good upgrade and very streetable. Also the price was not to bad and I forgot which company makes them SLP.

I believe Yank makes the SLP converters.

I am also planning on buying one of these converters until I have the money for a smaller diameter one.

I think I'll give one a try also. Who has the cheapest price on one? Summit doesn't carry SLP anymore.

You can go to sLPonline or there are a few vendors on other sites who carry slp stuff. I think slp wants about $320 for one.

Me and my friends have ran 12's with this conveter for years. The SLP converter has always been a very good converter for the money. I bought the one I ran from Summit for under $250 including the shipping. Was alot cheaper than getting it through SLP direct but I believe Summit stopped carrying SLP products.
