go to yank's web site. they have a chart to aid in converter selection. i'd probably go with a SS4000E and a 3.73 gear. 4.10's are are too tall for autos IMO. whatever you get, you want a converter that is built for nitrous use.

I wouldnt go more than a 4000stall on the spray, you would be giving up some power, I like to stay around 3500 to 3800 stall.

When I can afford another stall I am going to get a 3500 or 3800.

for spray a 4000 MULTIDISC Vig was GREAT!!!! Even when just driving to work! If you are staying w/the 7.5" Rear I would suggest 3.55 gears.....they will hold up a lot better than the thin gear 4.10's.

Well i figured that i would go with this set up till this coming winter right now i am going to be doing a GM LS1 HOTCAM and a 3500stall w 3:42 gears....that and a 75shot...should be good for the summer then this coming winter i am going to be doning a TR224 cam and patriot stage 2 head's and a yank 4000 stall w a 12 bolt and 3:73gear w a 100shot....so what do u think about my set up this summer and my future set up this winter ?

I orderd the cam kit today and im ordering a 3series carrier tomarow and pushrod's as well and im still trying to figure out what brand of converter im going with but it shold be all finished with in a month the cam will be installed by monday...

i like my 231/237 cam and i hear its great on juice...might be something to look into...its driveable without a tune but im sure would be much better with one...make sure that vert is in there first though

Why not save some coin and just do the TR cam now?

The TR should do pretty well with a 3500 stall, and give a nice gain over the hotcam across the range.

you want a reverse split cam , emphasis on the exhaust side. go with a TCI 3800 verter.

go with double springs.

bigger cams are harder to idle and tend to stall more in a4's just fyi.

not a reverse split, a normal split... but even a single profile like a TR224/114 would work good with a 100 shot and a 3500 converter... just get the right cam now, don't waste ur money buying a small cam now then another next yr...
