Default SS3600 or SS4000?

Ok I need to make a decision on my convertor befor I can order my h/c setup and dont know which to go with. Im going to be running a 228/230 on a 112lsa with milled afr 205's. Im hoping to trap 120+ in my full weight SS but it is also my DD in the summer months. So what would everyone go with SS3600 or SS4000

if you can tolerate the 4000 stall on the street, go with the 4000 stall and a good cooler

trapping 120+ is going to be tough in an auto, i have a bigger cam than what your looking at and i only trap 117 in cool air, and i have some weight reduction. For what your goals seem to be i'd go with the ss4000, going to be getting mine restalled.

go with the 4000 and tune it so that it locks up at around 25mph so it is a little more driveable

I am using the SS4000 and this converter is perfect. My car is a DD and drove it 1/2 way across the US. The converter locks up smoothly and hauls *** when you get into it. With you mods, the 4000 will be a better fit than the 3600.

Go with the 4000. I've got a 4200 in mine and it behaves very well on the street.

I was thinking about the 3600 as well, but I keep hearing people saying get the 4000, what exactly is the difference between the two as far as lock up goes. I've heard a ton of people say that the 4000 is streetable too, when does it lock up normally?

Thanks

lock up doesnt matter how big the stall is. a stock car locks up at 38 and unlocks a 35.. a ss4000 is more for a cam or H\C car a ss3600 os for more of a d\d bolt on car.
