I would not consider it worth the time to install really , But thats my opinion, 2800 up and a small diameter converter is the least I would do

^Serious. You will just want more later. Go with a Yank SBS 3400 if you want something smaller. I have the 3800 and love it to death. -Zack

Some of the vendors on here have budget converters in the 3000 stall range. I presently have a 3k stall, very happy with it.

I would suggest at least a 3k stall, it would make it worth it. I personally am saving money right now for my circle d 4k stall and 3.73s. With a 3600, your likely to gain anywhere from .6 to .9, quite a bit of variables there, but you get the idea.

We see .6-.8 tenths gain all the time on a stock f body with just a converter change to a 3600 with no loss of driveability.

I put a 3500 vig stall in a 99 FireHawk and besides the fact that it wont hook up it drives fine (WITH A COOLER). Gas milage well a stall isnt gas friendly but it really isnt that bad. IF your going to do it 3500 or more.

Why so small? These cars respond great to bigger converters, and you won't lose much (if any) drivability

FWIW, if I had a stock LS1 A4 car and somebody gave me a free 2500 stall, I wouldn't even take the time to install it. I'd go straight for at least a 3600
