Update: New pics on last page.


Ok so my car has a 3200, its fine and dandy for around town and still takes of business, but i bought it when I drove the car more and now I hardly ever drive it. So Im pulling it for something more performance oriented. The ss4000 has been the one i think i want. Before i drop the dough for it, i would like to hear actual impressions (driving, track) and 60 foot times. Especially since my car is cam only i wouldnt mind hearing the cam only/full weight guys chime in with their mods/times. I would really like to know 60 ft times, brake stall rpm, flash rpm, and rpm to move along with traffic.

thanks

The 3200 thats in my car currently:

Awesome converter! I would have gone with it again, but I plan on spraying down the road. It would skate the tire pretty dam good(nittos). I daily drove the car for about 2yrs, and it wasnt bad. You would typical see anywhere from 2300-2500rpm accelerating normally with traffic. MPG still only went down 2-3mpg around town, so it wasnt terrible.

As far as 60ft times, mine sucked bad because I couldnt hook at all. It was usually high 1.9x-2.x

I daily mine and have had the converter for almost 3 years and I love it. Its relatively tight for such a big converter and gets the car moving by 2500 rpms. At the strip I have cut a best of 1.53 60' with a 3700lb car on 255 MT drag radials.

What power levels are you at? I was thinking about going to that converter and also have 3.91's. I wasnt' sure if the combo would help keep my mph up or not with a high str, or if i should get a custom converter?

Detroitmuscle, what did you do, tap the wall?

no, someone clipped my car 3 days before my wedding, then about a month later my motor blew so I spent the money I had saved to get the car fixed and repainted on the new motor.

are you guys all using the str that it advertises on the site or did you change up the verter a little before you ordered it?

Thanks for the reviews so far, I knew it would be praised. Also, Im adding some driving views of my converter, give me your opinion on it if you feel like it.

I haven't dyno'ed it yet,But my best time on a cool day in March was 10.55@126 and that was with the 1.43 short time.You will like the SS4000

I run the SS4000 with level 5 FLT tranny and 3.73 gears.Car makes 420hp/385tq and weighs 3650lbs.

I bracket race an 11.5 class and hit consistant 1.52-1.58 60's on 16x10.5 ET streets.

The car is a daily driver 400-500miles per week.

For DD driving I would want the stall tighter but that is personal preference.At the track it's very consistant.

CHRRRIS

After seeing those videos, I want a stall BAD! I DD mine though, so I don't know if I want to go quite that high. Thinking 3600-3800. But to the OP, I say go for the ss4000, nobody's said anything bad about it yet!
