Default Mind starts to wander!

okay, so its not like im a newb, been on the site for awhile now, hell, since right after i bought my car, and for the longest time ive wanted a stall, a yankSS3600 to be exact. from driving friends cars and even 1 truck, i have been convinced its what i want, when the wife lets me ofcourse, and now i sit at the final stretch of my deployment in Iraq and i finally have the ok to get it, but now i sit on the fence, cause it takes me awhile to do **** to my car, with a 2 1/2 year old and a new born. So now, since im all about bang for the buck, should i just get the 4000? I mean, i wanna be as close too the 11s as possible. Before i deployed i ran a 12.74 with full exhaust, and some 3.90s out back, not to mention a set of mickey thomson e.t. streets. now im already tired of the 12s and naturally want that 11sec timeslip with my pig of a full wieght convertable auto! so anybody with insight on streetability differences, the feel of one versus the other and if its worth it, cause i drive the car daily. thanx fellas, and be home soon to burn me up a new challenger at the light!!!!!!!!

SS4000 is a great DD converter.....still nice and tight for the stall speed. I DD'd one for a year and loved it, but wanted more.....hence the PT4400. You'll love the SS4000, go for it!

I say go for it. I have the SS3600 in my LT1 which is more like a SS4000 in an LS1 and I love it to death. I wouldn't trade it for anything except maybe an SS4000 one day but the car is not only fun to drive but it hauls ***, I highly recommend.

i guess i should of known though that this was gonna be the response i would get. I think i want the 4000 now because i have had the car now for 4 years and been in the crowd for that long and it seems the most common stall in my area is the yank 3600, for those looking for mean but daily driveable cars. I think thats the same reason i went with the 3.90s in my rear-end versus the common 3.73s for autos. I have had the ar long enough and the friends long enough now that i have driven enough with the 3600 that im already tired of it and havent even owned it. originally i started wanting a 3200 when i first got it, but screw it, been in Iraq for awhile, and i want a respectable car now, its time to get past bolt-ons!!! Rant over.

agree with the 4000. btw how are the 3.90s? i thought the 3.73 were about the highest autos went. does it scream on the highway?
