Which of these two torque converters should I get?

Ok guys, to make a long story short, My new Jegs torque convert has broke a weld and is leaking.

It has broke were the flange is welded to the case. It has less than 100 miles on it.

I talked to jegs and they said I could send it back for a replacement. Then I thought why not upgrade. So I called Jegs back and they said I could pay the difference.

Now which one should I get?
The one I have: 2700-3000 stall rating
http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...Term=555-60401


Next choice: 3100-3500 stall rating
http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...Term=555-60403

Last choice: 3500-3800 stall rating
http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...Term=555-60404


I was thinking of going with teh 555-60404 with 3500-3800 stall rating.
The cam I am running is the comp extream xr282hr cam with Th350 trans, 3.73 gears and 26" tall tire.


What do you guys think?

Well it is a street/strip car. Not really a daily driver.

I might drive it once a week.

Re: Which of these two torque converters should I get?

It was only flashing to about 2500-2700 rpm with the first one.

I figured one of the other stalls would match my cam better.

Plus with the TH350, I am not geared as low as the 700R4 that I use to run. Plus with the cars race weight being around 3375 lbs, I need something that will get this car off the line.
