Default Unsure of power

I had just recently built a 360 magnum, bored .030, stage 2 compcam, 24 lb injectors, Its compression is 11:1:1 according to the mechanic that help me build it. Well the torque converters lockup is apprently done with, so I have to replace it, my question is with the new amount of powr that this motor is putting out should I just put in a stock torque converter or is their another solution. And for those wondering how I found out the lockup is done the truck shakes very aggeresive when it reachs its final gear.

I'd go for a more aggressive torque converter if I was you... after spending all the time and effort in building that motor, you might as well do it right and have the tranny to go with it. Jmo
