I got some serious M6s I need to rape from a dig and a roll around here. The kind of M6s that need to be taught some things about just how a stalled auto works.
And yeah I had to do something, the only converter I have laying around is a stock one.
And I had an offer on the table to swap to an M6, but I drove a friends recently and frankly I didnt like it near as much as I thought I would.
I don't have a Yank but do have some advice. I had a Vig 3600 converter and swapped to a 3200 for nitrous and noticed no difference with daily driving. If running motor I'd take the 4000 over the 3600. Make sure to purchase a nice transmission cooler too.
How many others have switched from Precision Industries to Yank? Can anyone prove that either one was more efficient?

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?

There isn't anything wrong with the 3600...i'm running a built tranning now.
Nice, ask him why i didn't get one...
sure man no problem, I hope its ungodly unstreetable I got some serious M6s I need to rape from a dig and a roll around here. The kind of M6s that need to be taught some things about just how a stalled auto works.

as for the gain i dropped more than half a second at the track and picked up 1mph over stock with same DA conditions with the ss line

I have a ss4000 why are my 60fts so bad.....1.69 leaving the tree at 3000 rpm I have 3.23s would that make a diff. if i got 3.73s???or is my car just a piece it ran a 7.6 @ 88 and 12.0 @ 110 for a h/c car that put down 432hp i think it should run faster
something is way off or hurt on that car unless you weigh like 4400lbs...my cam only car traps 122mph at a raceweight of around 3275lbs...best 60ft i have cut with 3.23 gears was a 1.38 most were low 1.4s to high 1.3s though

I just got it back from my tuner....he couldnt find anything wrong with it he told me it should be a solid 11 sec car....i mean i did have a full tank of gas and a heavy speaker in the back but would it hurt my time that bad?
Normally they don't help much with a stall, maybe in your case your 60' maybe be somewhat improved and it will make 3rd gear slightly more beneficial at the track.
Just don't expect much, that way you won't get your feelings hurt if it doesn't gain much.

dang i'm behind. just got through reading all this. 
well anyway, got my cam only car going. have the ss4000 with 4.11 gear. running 315/30/18 mt dr's. i must say, its fun to drive, hard to get traction, but pulls quite nicely on top end. when i'm cruising at 70 my tach is at 2500rpm and thats locked up. cause of my gear though, but i didnt build the car for gas mileage. no dyno numbers or track times yet. still breaking in the fresh motor. coming soon though.

ILL say I LOVE MY SS4000!!! badass stall. wouldnt trade it for the world!! daily drive it.
after i got it tuned, holy cow it was awsome. track time in SIG.. converter is set to lock up at 60mph in drive only, and when it does it pures down the highway. ive gotten 23mpg with it driving about 65%highway 35% city. very well manored stall.

i have C5 Z06 wheels. 17x9.5 front with 275/40's and 18x10.5 rear with 315/30's. rear tires scrub a little but only on turns. i'm gonna order a spacer later, but it'll be a small spacer. just enough to get the tire away from the bumpstop. my fender well was already beat in to. no et's yet. my motor has fresh bearings and rings, so i'm still putting miles on it. i probably wont hook at the track with these. i'm gonna pick up some 15x10's with some 28" slicks.

How does it drive if you get caught in the rain, just have to use your head with it? Thats my only concern is if I were to drive the car with that big of a stall and get caught in a storm. But I guess if you are smart about how you drive it shouldn't be an issue.
