PTC called me back today and we went over what happened to the converter after the explosion...
NOTHING HAPPENED!! The converter is in very good shape and the only wear there is would be the bearings and that's it. Tim from PTC said he saw no debris and the converter could be sent back for no charge or $100 for bearing replacement. He did however talk to me about my setup and asked me whay I was running, rpms, shift recovery, gears etc.. and he wants me to upgrade to a 8" converter and get rid of this street/strip converter I have been abusing. PTC is willing to give me $250 trade in on the new converter if I chose to buy another one from them. I am tempted seeing how this truck isn't a street truck anymore and it has a higher torque multiplier and efficiency rating.
My 4000 stall PTC converter is 8", seems to work, but I've had some tell me I need more stall. Do it, it's the icing on the cake

If it's strip only, do it.
Not surprised the converter didn't get contaminated. The pump probably stopped running soon after the explosion, and right up until that moment, you were running clean fluid. Definitely was wise to get it checked out though.

Hope that extra power doesn't make this one end up like the last 727
I would take that as a little bit of sarcasm.
