which 3500 so do have? the SY, SS, ST?
IMO, it IS worth the switch, but with 3.73s it'll be REAL hard to get traction...my fav combo would be 3.23/PT4400

Even if you don't go to the track much this converter will be awesome from a roll, on street tires I would forget a good launch or a decent one for that matter, you will def. need some DR's or ET streets. Your 3.73s will help tighten the converter up very much. I think you should do the swap...Maybe you should try the PT 4200, not much difference but I would think it would be a little more streetable. Good Luck

I fact.. it ran 12.07 at Bristol that day
I will say though.. it's not easy, nor is it alot of fun, unless you are on a track that hooks WELL
I prefer to run it on ET Streets

yeah, first we need to know your intentions. Are you looking to go to the track at all? I would guess NO by looking at at your sig...your appreance mods list is longer than your performance one.
I am currently running a YPT4400 in my car, but I have a lot more bolt-ons and I am all about track performance, but I do drive the car around also and driveablity isnt that bad, but the car was previously tuned with a 4200 stall, so I'm sure that helps. I have gone a 1.508 60' with this converter on DR's so it hits pretty hard, so I would go with at least a BFG Drag Radial when you want to play.

The higher STR make the TP series converter very livible on the street. Is it loose.. of course, but far from "unstreetable"
I currently have a TP-4200 and wish most days that I had went back to a TP-4400 instead.

Honestly John, how well do ya hook on the street with those nittos and the 4200? I cant hook on ET Streets in mine and I only got a 3800.
Since he has a street/strip car I would agree with the 4400. Badass from a roll.
BTW: John, what did ya do with the 4400? I need a 1.50' 60' to go 11.dohs.

Had a flexplate come apart, took out the tranny, converter and a bunch of other things. If you own a 2001 or 2002.. keep an eye on that sucker!
Went to a UT-4600 then... it was CRAZY, WAY too much stall for a stock internals car. Had a nutty STR
Moved to the TP-4200 last year when I couldn't take the UT anymore
