Default yank ss3600 owners Please come in and leave a comment!!! I need your help

I have a 02 ss with 3.23 gears and will be running a 228/232 114 lsa cam with the mods in the signature, I wanted to know what my drivabilty will be like on the street with this stall. I am more concered about dd driving than track preformance I go to the track every now and then but I need a car that still drives close to stock, will this stall be to tall for what I want I don't plan on changing rear gears, I dont want a soft mushy gas petal in order to get my car to move.thanks any input will help

Ive got the py3600 and the car drives like stock around town. I dont really notice anything until I put my foot to the floor. Then she comes unglued. DD with that converter would be just fine and I think you'd be pretty happy with it.

Theres a thread around here somewhere, where people were complaining that it was to tight and they wanted it a little bit more loose. Give dave a call at Yank he'll be more than happy to recommend a converter for you. He recommended that py3600 for my combo and I love it.

yeah there is a difference between the py3600 and the regular 3600. the py is made to feel tight and feel stock until you put your foot to the floor.

As far as 3600 stall converters go, the SS3600 is "less loose" than the rest. There is no mistaking that you have the converter in there when you drive it. It definitely does not feel "stock" particularly with 3.23 gears but it isn't anoying either. You'll notice the exhaust drone more than the looseness because the RPM's hang a little bit driving around.

With that cam, the SS3600 will be the best compromise for the tightest feel that won't hold back your combo or a future combo should you decide to change it up for something more agressive. Ex. mid sized cams, TV3, G5X2. Also, the shift extention isn't too short for nitrous, 4900-5100 RPMs after upshift.

ok thanks a lot of people were saying it felt like stock but i didnt want to get one put iit in then i hit the gas and it doesnt go anywhere, my main thing is that i dont want to have a stall that i have to almost mash the gas to the floor in order for it go

For reference, from a stop you can just let off the brake and the car will move forward off idle without applying the gas.

I have the SS3600 and I daily drive in Atlanta traffic.

It is NOT a loose converter.

Well worth the money, but I would have used a larger stall if the car was N/A. Dave recommended the 3600 because I am using nitrous.

I daily drive mine and I love it - bolt on car. It doesn't feel any looser than the TCI 3000 I had before. Stomp it and it rocks. The perfect combo of driveability and performance IMO.

I've owned a Yank SS3600 it's a good daily driver stall. Personally I'd run a Yank SS3200 converter though if I'd choose again. Traction will definitely become an issue with the higher str or at least it was in my case.

My car is no longer a daily driver though so I went with a larger stall when I added a different cam.

I have a PY3400E and it drives tight in city traffic and then goes skitsofrenic you push the go - pedal. I'll never go back to Vig now that I have the Yank.

Tip: Driveability has a lot to do with the tune and how your tuner sets it up for city driving (shift points, lockup etc.). It makes a world of difference.

Been running the SS3600 for a while now. 383cui 231/235 .643"/.646" 113LSA cam, and it drove GREAT. I went down to Houston, drove everywhere, even to the track and back which was a 120 mile drive. Stall is very very streetable. I think its the reason my STOCK 4L60E is still working, Only thing I have changed on my tranny is the Solenoids and I went 11.18@123 down in Texas, and have been making 466rwhp for nearly 10k miles now with a lot of hard launches. Tranny has 130k on it now haha! Love this converter. Definitely a great purchase.
