looking for the perfect converter

I have a 1967 c10 tubbed race truck. I have had it about 8 months and had little success so far due to chasing many issues with it. The truck weighs 3150 with me and a full tank of 112 octane. I have a Chrysler 8 3/4 full spool and 4.87 gear with disc brakes. The tires are 32x14.5 hoosier slicks. I've tried a powerglide trans 1.76 with a 10in 4000 stall and went 12.60@104 then tried a turbo 350 with a 4600 9in stall and ran 11.71@108. I switched to a 5000 8in stall and went 7.24@95. I decided to switch back to the powerglide now I'm looking for the perfect converter for my setup. I currently have an 8inch Hughes "5200" stall. The motor is a 350 .60 over gm crank, hbeam rods, speedpro 12.5 forged pistons, world sportsman 2 heads 58cc around 13.1 compression with a lot of port and valve work they are 2.08 not sure on flow specs. 12-908-9 comp cam..630 solid roller .306 duration @.50. Victor Jr intake port matched. Apd 750 carb and 2inch Apd billet spacer. The motor made 540hp@7000 and 500tq@5000 any suggestions would be appreciated I'm also looking for more power I want to run low 10s I know I could have run low 11s but I only had 1/8 mile passes on my last setup. Any other questions on things I left out just ask
