Default torque converter - valve body combos?

hey guys, i was considering throwing a different valve body and torque converter into my 03 48re, longevity and performance in mind. i was considering an ATS triplelok w/ a towing edition valve body, i just can't find many solid reviews for daily drivers any input is appreciated! not too picky on brand, just whatever you guys have had luck with!

I had source automotive put a triple disc and a heavy duty valve body in mine and I really like it. There near Portland Oregon.

I use two different converters on a regular basis behind the Cummins. Both are built for me by Cascade Converter in the Seattle area. I've used pretty much all of the major brands on the market at different times, and the Cascades are among the best converters I've ever used!

I've built my own valve bodies for years, but I've had transmissions apart with both Goerend and Source (Dunrite) valve bodies In them. Both are pretty decent, but are quite expensive.

i was looking at the goerend tc/vb, i'm not planning on making any more power than i am right now, just want to try and hold on to a fairly fresh transmission!

Dave builds a very good converter and valve body. He's one of the few that truly understands the mods associated with a Dodge high pressure valve body.
