LML Torque Converter Recommendations?

I got my transmission built at Wehrli this last February and put a little over 30k miles on so far.. Seems like they did a good job on it, just wish I woulda went with a different convertor then they recommended.. I've got a 1058 and its looser than I was wanting for sure..
I forgot about HSP. I have a buddy that knows a couple guys there and has had some work done by them. I will have to give them a call. Mike and Evan do you have experience with both the 1078 and the R? I know the 1078 is Evans baby and the R is Mikes but which would you recommend for what I am after? It sounds like I can't go wrong either way. I just don't want to be wondering "what if" after I have this done.
Kiwi the 1058 is too loose for your S400? I would think you would want it to be loose to spool that charger.

I have no experience with Evans 1078. He told me he thought the 1078 and R were similar.
The R will stall to 2200+ if need be. It couples very well and tows well. A lot depends on the truck. I'll let Evan talk about the 1078.
Yes, but it doesn't couple very well.
Coupling is the key guys ( power to the rear wheels instantly at throttle).
Stall is for launch which is important. IMHO coupling wins races.
That's what I thought and yeah mine will go to 2500 no problem though..
I have no trouble building over 20 pounds of boost just sitting still, and when I stomp it from a stop or slow roll it just feels like it revs up and just stays up there until it locks.. I just think a tighter convertor would feel a little better for me and what I do..

Yes as Mike said the 58 doesn't fluid couple well at all. Basically unless it's locked it's very inefficient. The 78 still gives you some rpm to help spool your turbo but puts the power to ground even unlocked.
Ok makes sense now, I hate my truck when the converter is unlocked it just makes noise and goes nowhere lol.
No experience with the goerend but have installed quite a few 1078s from Evan all of them run awesome.
