Default SS3600 or SS3800



Here is my dyno graph, I have recently added QTP LT headers and a ported TB, so those #'s should be up. When I install the TC i'll be getting it tuned as well

In the attachment you'll see a dyno of my car after the QTP headers, the #'s are not corrected and I believe my car needs to be tuned badly.

It seems as if my car peaks in HP up to 4800rpms then drops in HP. Which got me thinking, would an SS3600 or SS3800 be the better converter for me performance wise? My concern is the shift extension, I think a lower shift extension would be better for me or not, thats why I am asking you guys

I was about 99% sure I was going with the 3800, but I just want to double check with you guys.

Here is some info on my car. 2.73 gears, stock everything except for catback, lid/filter, ftra, LT headers, ported TB
I don't plan on doing many more performance mods after this, just some basic bolt ons like suspension, pulleys, and so on. I know I will definetly never do heads and most likely not nitrous. A cam is about 80% out of my plans as well

So make the call guys
Lastly sorry about the post, I am sure you guys are sick and tired of these, but at least I gave you my dyno sheets in order for you to make a good decision

Holy crap I am such an idiot I wasn't even looking at which line represented what
So I guess this means I should stick to the SS3800 as my choice, I can't wait to install it
