Torque Converter Help
I'm looking for a little help with my 700R4 transmission. It needs a new torque conveter and I'm wondering which one to choose. I'm looking for a nine inch or ten inch converter either lock up or non lock up. I dont drive the vehicle much on the highway, so lockup isnt essential. I'm looking for the converter to be able to handle 500-600hp at the wheels. Right now it has a single disc 9" converter and it is slipping badly.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Updated this post, I guess 700-800 is a little to much to be asking out of a 700R4.
I know there must be corvettes out there with built 700's running higher HP levels, which converters are you running? How are they lasting?
Thanks again,
Nick
