Okay I read Yank's guide for their stalls and it is recommended that I purchase their ss3600. I have no problem with that, but would there be any con's in going to a ss4000 on a 3.23 rear gear? I do not know if I'll ever throw 3.42's or 3.73's in there. Any input would be appreciated. I would like to throw in a mild cam sometime in the future, a 228R at the max with heads to accompany. If that information helps any.

Okay to the guys that voted, any explanation as to why?

on your basic bolt ons, this converter will keep plenty of daily driveability and wake the car up a ton.... plus be about a perfect match for the 228 cam you have planned

i just threw a yank ss3600 in my bolt on car. im still taking it easy for the first couple hundred miles but it is really nice. it took a little getting used to but not much at all. yanks converters supposedly drive a lot tighter than other companies. so basically, im driving with a converter that drives like a 3200 but still has the power of a 3600. i cant wait to put my foot in it

Performabuilt if you want and acurate stall not over rated or under rated STR 1.69 average very efficient

I don't doubt you performabuilt, but as I am no where near as competent with transmissions as I am with engines I would like to go with someone with a longer reputation. Since the price is about the same I think you can see my argument. Though if/when my tranny decides to take a dump I will be looking very closely at your builds. I've been debating on the layaway for quite some time now. Just makes it convenient.

I understand and thats cool of course oddly though selling our converters on the net is semi new, The company we purchased that our converter are made by has been making and selling converters locally for over 10 years for performance and oddly I guess monster trucks with excellent results. So we are not really so new just kinda new here. And yes the layaway system is quite unique and many people have utilized it.

Well while we're on the topic, and I don't want to get into the wrong place here; how does your stall differ from the Yanks. Could you spec me one off of the top of your head given my first post?

Well from the feedback I get the biggest thing is acuracy and bottom end efficency . Our STR is quite low in the 1.69 range which makes even our very high stall converter very reasonable for street use, Now matching them if I was going with a yank 3600 I would likley chose our 4000 as a match for similar manors. Many other manufacturers converters are under rated stall wise a 3600 may stall at 3800 or even 4000 from what I have read, Ours on the other hand are rated very exact, So you definatly would not want to buy a stall any lower than exactly what you want because it will not stall higher than expected.
But from looking at your post I would have to say our 4000 would be what your looking for possibly even the 4500 if you like to be a bit on the loose side.

I had a Yank ST3500 and upgraded to the SS4000 and I absolutely love it. It drives almost exactly like the 3500 did in town, but is much more fun at WOT. And I do have 3.23's. It is plenty tight for me, and low rolls are a thing of beauty. It has a 2.6 STR which makes it nice and tight for daily driving. The only downfall to the STR is how hard it hits. Traction is hard to come by with Nittos. I've cut a best 60' of 1.72, and that was rolling into the throttle. With some better tires, it'll cut some hellacious short times. I would go with Yank's recommendations though....they won't steer you wrong. And I would definitely go with Yank coverters. They are the best in the business for a reason. They are extremely efficient, and they are rated right on the money. Vigs are the ones underrated, but they have a damn good converter also.

I got the SS3600 and I wish I would have gotten the SS4000. If you plan on taking the car to the track at all, get the SS4000. I have a bigger cam then you plan on getting and the SS3600 does a great job, but I wish I would have gotten the SS4000.

I would go with the 3600 or less. i started with a 3400 then a ss4000 I had alot of supporting mods with it. I also used a 4000 when going to a Th-400 trans. don't get me wrong, it's a good converter, it's just that 3600 will be better suited. The 4000 is more of a drag converter.

I can only speak for Yank SS converters, 3200 and 3600. With the SS3200, the best 60' I could come up with (with my mods) was a 1.75. I had it restalled to a 3600 and the very first pass, 1.649 60'! Times also picked up considerably. I would have went SS4000 but N20 is in my near future. The Yanks SS converters are very efficient .. I wouldn't be scared of the 4000!

at least 4000 or nothing

gillbot can you explain yourself as to why the 4000 opposed to anything else

Most people I know with a cam car or a heads and cam car that get below a 4000 converter always end up going higher later and they wished they went with at least a 4000 in the beginning. I know I wish I did, It would have saved me loads of hassle up front.
