I currently have a Circle D 4C converter in my 14 GT. If I was to go FI, which would work the best with the 4C? Paxton, Turbo, or a supercharger like a TVS or Whipple? I'm not wanting to pull the converter and get it restalled. Not certain about doing this, just want to know. Thanks.

Do not base the power adder around the converter. Do it the other way around. Pick the power adder you really want.
It will help a Paxton or turbo more since they don't make as much boost as a tvs at low rpms.
I run the 4C with my Vortech, per my tuner's recommendation. I drive mostly on the street with it, but it's not daily driven. It works awesome.
Im not sure how FI tunes work, but with my AED NA tune, the converter locks after the 1-2 shift so the stall is really only in 1st. Turbo is my first choice but the cost of the Paxton set up is attractive. I know both will put a rod through the block!

+1 on this....just ask circle d
I understand that. I'm just asking which power added would work best with that converter.
I run a 3c with my procharger. I went from 2.0x to 1.6x 60'. If you drag race with a centri you will want a converter. A centri needs rpm to make power and your 60' will be as slow as a stock car until you install a converter.

it will definitely benefit snail type FI over PD
These circle d converters must be really efficient at low load rpm, honestly I can't really tell it has a converter in it just tooling around.
Circle d speced my Whipple with a 2c 2800. Which I feel is alittle conservative.
I almost forget I put a converter in while just driving around with the 3c. Now I see why a lot of people go straight for the 5c.
The Pd blowers make so much low end grunt they pull pretty decent 60's on the stock converter. A 2c will show small improvement.
paxton oil fed with a 2C and ive cut a best 1.35 60ft.....
What kind of stall rpm are you seeing with the 4c?
I haven't data logged it to know for sure. I don't know how circle d derives their stall numbers.
