torque converter question

im thinking of getting a stall for my car, its an 94 LT1 w/4L60e tranny. what torque converter would you recommend me getting. and how do i know which is best for me; as of no i have 3.73's, headers, cai, Hpp3, pulley, and other simple bolt-ons. its my daily driver.
also could i see the prices of what some of these stalls will cost?
thank you
michael

I have a TCI breakaway converter with basically the same mods as you and it would be great for a daily driver.
Mine is not a daily driver anymore and now I wish I had went with a 3000 stall,
looking at anywhere from 300 to 400 dollars depending on the deal you get.

what stall speed is your TC? about how much did it help in the 1/4 mile?
would you consider selling it, just wondering because of you wanting a 3000 stall. also whats the part number. let me know

Vig or Yank 2800 stall would work great with your set-up...even a TCI! You'll see an average drop of about .4-.6 in the 1/4...

If you do get a stall converter, don't forget about an oil cooler as well!

the stall is 2600 to 2800, its advertised as 1000 RPM above the stock stall.
I went from 13.8s to 13.4 in the quarter but I installed LTs when I had the tranny out.
