I need to go bigger on my converter and need some input. I have a c5 with the following.

I mostly run on the street, but go to the track a few times a year. I now run drag radials also. Should I go with the ss3600, 3800, or super yank 3500.
any input is welcomed!!!!!!!!

Need a little more info. Why do you now feel you need to go with a bigger converter? Do you simply want better times? Are you having traction problems with your current setup?

when on the juice, converter is no problem. But I think the car is a little slugish out of the whole when running NA. I would like a little quicker launce when not on the juice. Maybe worrying about nothing, should get some 60' times the 21st. what do you think?

IF you've got traction, a higher STR will give you better 60' times, all else being equal. Of course, a higher stall speed is going to help you also. So if you're hooking up well out of the hole and want better times, I would go with the SS3800 of the three converters you mentioned, possibly built with a slightly higher STR than your current converter has. A set of 3.73 gears to replace your 3.42's would be an improvement too.
