HI!... Junk! Looks like a basically stock converter. It doesn't even have anti-ballooning plates. Don't cheap out on a higher stall converter. You will run into tons of problems with cheap converters. Get yourself a P.I (Precision Industries) "STALLION" converter. Like this :

The pictures on that link have nothing to do with a 4r70w, but they say nothing about a billet front cover or balloon plates.
Slightly better than a stock replacement at best.

For you're application, Nitrous in particular, anti-ballooning plates is mandatory. Having furnace brazed impellers or whatever, can't think at the moment, would also be good idea for durability. I just got a new converter as part of a tranny rebuild, slightly higher (500 or a bit more rpm's) and furnace brazed. The tranny as a whole was done in prep of future boost, figured what the hell, it was cooked anyways.

Neither of the above mentioned companies would be my first choice nowadays. Not bashing, just saying I know of better options in my opinion.

I hate to keep sounding like a broken record, but I would give Troyer a call. He can either hook you up or hook you up with someone that can
