Yeah we seem to be getting slightly different opinions on this matter. Any decent 4K converter should kill all dead spots in your power band so that leads me to believe it should be pretty good from a roll.

the SS4000 like many have said is a great all around converter. drives a little on the loose side around town, but not bad for being a 4000.
cut 1.53 60' times w/ a 100 shot, 16" drag radials, 3.23 gears - spraying on a button after hitting on motor.
i switched to an SS3600 because i upped to a 150 shot and wanted to leave on the button.
on motor, that was a HUGE difference - i would estimate a few tenths addition in 1/4 ET. but leaving on spray, the car went 1.43 60' on 26" drag radials, and 1.41' on 26" slicks. (still with that stock 3.23 gear'd 10 bolt).

Mods are basically the 100 shot, SS4000 and bolt-ons? What suspension was done?

my vig 3600 has takin my H/C/I 346ci camaro 1.60 short 11.2 @119 mph thats a 7.1 1/8 mile i'm thinking about going to the SS4000 but i'm also plaining to spray more its a nitrous set up anyway like 238/240 .647/.608 111LSA cam specs .....
i have 2 moser complete axles one with 3.70gears and the other with 4.11 gears and the 4.11 gears really tightened up the stall i had to hold the brake tight at red lights lol it slowed up the short times to 1.65s so i'm thinking of also going to a little taller tire as well to give it more stall as well
so new set up will be the SS4000 with 3.70 gears and 28 tall tires i'm hoping it will cut some 1.45s or quicker but only time will tell the car was dynoed at speed inc. at 449RWHP

I was really thinking about getting an SS3600, but I've read enough in this thread that I think I'll step up to the SS4000 once I get a stall.
What kind of gains are people seeing going from stock stall to the SS4000 on a bolt on car? I'd get a cam for the car eventually. Also are most of you guys running your stock tranny or a built one?
