yank ss3600 seems to be the most popular for the more street driven cars

It's all dependent on what you can deal with. I've run a 3500, 4000, 4400 and currently a Circle D 5000 stall. I personally will take a larger converter anyday, and my car is 90% street driven. The bigger converters are certainly looser, but IMO much more fun to drive.

My ride is not a D/D either ,but I drive it when its dry out . A 3600 will do the trick . But if you plan on doing a cam or more mods in the future I would consider a 4000. I myself went with a YANK SS4000 .Just got it today .Didnt get it in yet though

Yeah, had the opportunity to go bigger and it's always worked out for me in the past. This 5000 is very similar to the PT4400. It's actually slightly tighter on the street, but does give up a small amount of shift extension. I've taken it to the track once, but conditions weren't ideal (temperature in the 70's with some humidity). I pulled a 1.57 60' and ran a 11.70 at 115.7x. With better weather, I believe I would have had a new PB. For comparison, my best with the PT4400 was 11.62 at 116.08 (1.58 60'), temperature in the mid 40's. The video in my sig was also with the PT4400.

Unfortunately, that's all the test data I have at this time. It has a 2.7 STR, so it hits extremely hard. I plan on making some changes to the car soon (heads, bigger cam, intake) so we'll see what happens then. Maybe I'll put them both through the gauntlet again. Either way, both are awesome converters that pull like hell on the big end.

I would say a 3600-4000. I run a fuddle 3800 in my LT1 ta, it's fun and hit's hard. Alot of guys here in kc run around a 4,000 stall.

I went with the TCI 3500 a few years ago and I really wish I would have went with a bigger stall (4400+), especially now that I'm going with a lot more power shortly. Just some advice: you not only need to look at the best converter for your current set-up, you need to look at how extreme your setup might become in the future. Unless you're made of money, it's better to plan ahead and save.

what kind of suspension setup do you have ?

Factory Bilstein Level II. My front swaybar was off, 1/4 tank of gas, 17X9 front wheels and 16X8 rears with Hoosier DR's. Other than that, full weight car and if I recall correctly, it was 3460ish without me in it. So makes for ~3650 raceweight. Besides the weather, the setup and weight was identical for all runs with the Yank and Circle D.

I have had a 3600 and a 3500 in my D/D. Next time I am going 4000.

Why do you guys switch to a 4000? Is it faster than a 3500?
