Default What torque converter to use?

I am having my transmission rebuilt with a Suncoast diesel extreme heavy duty master rebuild kit with the Transgo shift kit and a .427 mod valve. I am trying not to mortgage my house on a torque converter but I really want a triple disc converter. The next few things I am adding to the truck is a Adrenaline oil pump, FASS fuel system, and my intercooler, and I am having my Turbo rebuilt by Precision turbo so Im not getting to extreme.The truck will never be used for Drag racing or sled pulling or extreme off roading. I use the truck as my everyday driver and I haul heavy loads up to 25,000lb once in a blue moon for a friend, so the truck gets worked hard. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Or call up BTS and see what TC they suggest, a valve body wouldn't hurt also.

Call Racer X for very good priced triple disks.
Plan on over $1k for a Precision that everyone likes, Racer X has his own much cheaper.

So far RacerX has the best price and offers the same thing as everyone else so I am probably going with them. Thanks for all of the help.

I have to say thank you to RacerX and everyone that works their. I have never dealt with a company that is so willing to go out of their way to help somebody, and they are very polite and professional. X6TC is the torque converter I bought and it works like a dream. And I highley suggest to anyone who needs Tranny help or parts to stick with them you will not be dissappointed.
