Difference between the PTC 9.5" and the PTC 10" converter

[oddiesGN]

I'm in the process of upgrading my car with the 206/210 roller cam, fmic, 80# injectors and the 6262 turbo. I will be needing a new converter and its between the 9.5" and the 10" both are PTC. What are the difference between the two besides the size and weight? I would guess the 9.5" is better, but why and do I need it with my set-up or is the 10" good for what I need? I want the stall speed to be 3000 and I think that it needs to be a LU converter because I think that my new transmission was built for a LU converter. Car will be daily driver with some 1/8th mile racing, would like to be in the low 7's if that matters in choosing a stall.
Thanks.

No lock up with the 9.5" Have to use 10" if you want lock up.

No lock up with the 9.5"

Can you go with the non LU converter if your transmission was built for the LU converter?

Your Trans can be easily converted to Non-Lock. >> TransGo Performance 7-CCV - TransGo Torque Converter Conversion Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com

The difference is the 9.5 is looser down low and tighter up top than the 10" and it's a non lock. This means better spool-up and better efficiency than the 10". If your ultimate goal is low 7's in the 1/8 you can get away with the 10". Low 7's is usually my cut-off for the 10". Somone looking to run 6's can benefit from the 9.5.
