I have heard that a 3800 is the highest I should go on a daily driver. I have a 3200 now and can barely tell its there; I got used to it right away. I really dont want to be kicking myself if I get a 3800 and wish I went higher; however, I also want the car to be driveable, so if I get a 4000 + and cant drive it, Ill be angry as well. My goal is to be as fast as possible with it still being driveable; I dont mind if its a little loose, as long as it can be driven in city traffic when it has to be. What do you guys think; Im stepping up to 3.73's, so that will probably take some slack out. Mods include all bolt on's and heads/cam

I have a Yank Pro thruster 4200 in my Z28. It was my daily driver for quite a while until I got my truck. It's loose, but I got used to it.

was it still enjoyable to drive in the city, or was it more of a hastle than a pleasure

I'd say if your not gonna spray it. Step up to the Yank or TCI 4200 - 4400. It is a bit loose but well within what most consider driveable. You will also not be leaving any performance on the table.

I've had a few converters....

Yank Stealth-Too tight! Felt just like stock.
Yank SY3500-Pretty nice on the street with 3.73 gears with great street performance. Too mild for the track though. (Hits too soft.)
Yank TP4600-LOOSE on the street. Not nice! Simply AWESOME on the track!
TCI SSF3500-Just right on the street. A little tighter than the SY3500 even with 3.23 gears. Really good performer at the track.
Yank SS4000-A little looser than the SY3500/3.73 combo. Still, fairly nice for daily driving and a GREAT performer at the track!

I just had a vig 3200 in my car. With just bolt ons it felt ok on the street, actually felt like it was slipping, not stalling.
Then I did heads/cam/header. The 3200 felt ok till. Very easy street. Hit pretty hard from an idle.
I just buit my trans up and put a midwest 4000/2.5 str in.
The car feels stock! Almost no slippage while driving in traffic - but hit the gas rolling and blow the tires of. It is tighter than the vig 3200 ad I think more efficient.
I'd say about 4200 would be max for a bolt on stret car.
Track times coming to compare 60'

I'm about to get a good deal on a used TCS 4200...(yes..I know the deal with TCS..I'd be leary too, but I'm getting a good deal on a tranny and convertor..and this convertor has cut 1.49 60'..so it can definitely perform.) It's going in a daily driver...give me about a month for me to get it from the guy and get it installed. I'll let you know then how it is driving in Washington DC traffic everyday with a 4000+ stall.

So the 3200 was nearly identical to the factory converter? I'm in the same boat as you though.

i have ssf3800 and love it!!! went to the track for the first time and got crappie 60ft 2.02 though. running nittos dr 305/18/35 need a set of et streets
what would be the best possible 60ft with et streets?

i feel that this converter is great for the street!!!

with your combo i'd assume you should be able to hit 1.6 60's if not better with the ET streets

Drivability all depends on who's driving it. I'm going with a 4400 and it'll be driven in the city, but calling it a daily driver may be stretching it alittle far. Your gears will definately help tighten it up. My old 3800 with 3.23's felt stock after a few miles of getting use to it. With 3.73's you could probably run a 4200 and be alright.

"what would be the best possible 60ft with et streets?"

You have a lightweight car, 3.73 gears, LS6 heads and a monstor sized cam (maybe a little too big for that cam depending on LSA and degreeing.)

I'd say 1.4s are possible and mid 1.5s are a given if you can hook it.

I have the Yank SY3500 with 323's as the Col. mentioned.
Perfect street manners & on the hwy...... hold on...!
It hits very soft with an STR of 1.7. Still get 22-24 MPG..
works great for me.
