Anyone make a lockup 700r4 converter with antiballooning?

Anyone make a lockup 700r4 converter with antiballooning for n2o use? Looking to stall around 3200 (like a TCI streetfighter but stronger) and support about 500 n/a HP + 150 N2o. I ordered the streetfighter, but I dont think it's gonna hold up. Would really like to hear your recommendations...

The A.C.T. 9.5" lockup & the Vigilante 9.5" lockup will hold 800+ horsepower. This should be more than enough for what you need.

heh, those converter ARE anti-balloning, the outer shell acts as an anti-balloon plate, so the need for one is negated.
Dana, of pro-built explained this to me, and thats my chopped up parrot excuse for what he told me. I think he also said there are no good 12" converters, and some 10" are also bad about ballooning, but the 9.5" are really great.

You are talking about only the A.C.T. and Vig. converters being anti-balooning, correct?

Either of you have prices on these...I'm having trouble finding the 9.5" 'ers.
