I have the SY3500 in my Trans-Am, and have put maybe 40,000 miles on it. I love it. But you are right, I find that I the car feels lazy off the line at anything up to half throttle. Trust me, it may feel lazy but it's not. I can start the tires spinning at almost any point between idle and half throttle just by quickley easing the pedal down. Now, I'm still on my stock 245/16 so I'm certain it feels different to you in your corvette

I have spoken with a number of people including Mike at Yank and they have all recommended that I put at least 3.75 gears in to tighten up the feel. I'm still running 3.23's. If I ever get tired of the SY I plan to go to the ss3600. much tighter feeling with same high stall benifits. (so I'm told)

I understand the "loose" feel, but like was said, it's a matter of getting your brain adjusted to the gas pedal. I have an ST3500 and 2.73 gears and can flat destroy a pair of tires in no time off the line. (running the widest I can get on 16" stock rims)
The up side is from a 20-50 mph roll it really rocks when you nail it.
Been running this combo for almost 50K miles now.
