:rofl::rofl::rofl: I won't bring up how many suncoast converters I've destroyed
You can. They fail just like everyone else's converters. The OP asked what will hold up the best in his situation and from what I've seen that's the 10531.

Evan I had no ill intentions to piss you off despite what you may have thought. I posted my opinion of what worked for me, sorry If I pissed in your cheerios, you will get over it, hope your in a better mood today :hug:
I sent my 53-1 to Dave goerend to be dynoed to see if he could increase the stall, whether by rebuilding the SC or buying a Q from him. After dynoing, He sent me pics of the clutches all burnt to a crisp, said this things toast. His converter should stall bit more, too. So I bought one. Have yet to get it running with the Q so I can't verify the stall. Anyhow, I just recently cut open my sump filter only to find absolutely no contamination at all. Clean as a whistle. Which means Dave smoked the 53-1 on his dyno. I don't know if he did it on purpose or not, now I'm worried I went away from a bulletproof SC just to cause myself more issues. Only 10 hooks on that 53-1, the fluid, and the filters.
I'll report back in a week or so with the goerends performance.
Out of curiosity what was it stalling to?

You can't smoke a converter clutch on a dyno.
And I just got a call from Dave. I need to rectify this, as I was mistaken badly. The lining on my 53-1 was glazed with no material missing, so my sump filter diagnosis was absolutely wrong. There is no material to be found, t here was none missing yet. Even if there was, it would be stuck in the cooler. Add in the fact that Dave did not test lockup at all, we were only worried about stall at that point anyhow.
So I owe an apology to Dave, as I kinda threw them under bus for no reason. Matter of fact, he rebuilt the 53-1 for a great price to boot!
He's confident that his Q will stall more than the 53-1, based on the dyno test. So I'm excited to try.
I'm glad to hear you got it all sorted out. I've always enjoyed doing business with Dave. He's always shot straight with me and given me an honest answer, even if it wasn't of any benefit to him. I have never been dissatisfied with any of their products either.
