He said the trans runs about 4400, the converter about 1800, and he gets 450 to install.

Wow that's kinda high. My SCIV with 1058 wasn't that much. I would stick with a Suncoast. I have about 15k on mine now with 500 hp since it was put in and it has not skipped a beat. Tows great and just shifts awesome. I'm getting upgraded to EFI live right now so we'll see how it does on the dirt draggin a big heavy steel box! My PPE does pretty good. I am highly sold on Suncoast. I have buddy who just got a SC put in his 07 Dodge and he's lovin it too. Goodluck with your decision.
