I have the circle D 3B (2800-3000 stall). 1.6x 60' times at 3700+ lbs.. Excellent quality product and 1st class customer service for me so far.

I love my Yank SS3600! I daily drive it, and its a great setup.

Like others have said, a cooler is a good idea with a stall or not. They are cheap insurance, and are easy to install.

Call greg at Fti and talk too him.Both converter company's your looking at are great.I bought a Fti 3600 with a low str 1.78 and it is perfect for the street good down low and a monster on top end.I would deffinately go with a low str for the street.Good luck with finding the right converter.Oyeah my trans never goes over 170 on temp in the Florida heat wave with a small stack cooler.Fti is a great company.

I have drove most of the majpr brands(revmax,circled,yank,vig.) Coan stall has been the best one but if i had to choose the second best i would choose yank great stall not very noticeable even at a 3600 stall spedd.
