Restalling Converter - Can't Decide What Size Hey guys. I have an FTI 3800 converter sitting under my bed that I've never put in my car. Before I put it in, I want to have it rebuilt because I want to make sure I have no problems with it once it's in the car because it's not fun to install or remove it. But because I'm having it rebuilt, I can choose any size stall I want. So I need your help deciding which size to go with.
The car is a 2000 C5 Corvette that just has an intake (vararam with a stock LS1 manifold), headers, xpipe, and exhaust. When the converter goes in, it will be going in with a 3.42 Z06 diff, too. I plan on putting a cam in the car...something like an MS3, but I'm not set on which one yet.
The car is just gonna be a daily driven street car with the occasional quarter mile pass.
People were pushing me towards making it a 3500 or 3600, but I'd like some more opinions.
If you need any other information, just let me know!

You plan on spraying? I went with a 3600 and I have 3.15s, the car drives pretty close to stock so don't let that be a deciding factor. I really like my 3600 and FTI is great

It may be sprayed down the line but not soon. After the 3.42s and 3600 stall go in, I'll probably put an LS6 intake/tb and then a cam in it. THEN spray.
