Default Yank converter questions.

Hey guys, i had a set back on my converter. I had to pay a bill, so imma little tight on "toy" money and i wana get the converter out of the way before i finish my suspension so here is my question. I can go with a yank ss 3600 and wait on finishing the suspension, OR do a yank stealth thruster 3000 stall and still get some finishing touches on my suspension. Is the yank 3000 going to be enough converter for a bolt on car, and be enough for my 355 build later on. Or should i just get it over with now and do the 3600. my car has the following mods.

Longtubes
EWP
1.6rr's
lt4 valve springs
ory pipe to dumped bullet
k&n intaks
4.10's
I know i need a converter, but man they are not cheap

Do not waste your money on a 12" converter, which that Stealth Thruster is. It's good quality, but a significant compromise in performance for your car.
Wait and get the right one instead.

Yeah I was wondering if they changed it for some reason. Mine is a PT and I got it recently.
