Default 3600 converter with 10 bolt
Tried to search, had no luck. At 360 rwhp and stock 10 bolt, would it be a horrible idea to add a converter? Keeping in mind that adding the converter will mean DR's to hook up. Car will hardly ever see the track. Thanks for any opinions. Please only replies from people who have owned a car with this setup!

You will be fine. Just put a trans cooler in and call it a day.

I have a 4k with a 10 bolt, 400rwhp & DR's. So far so good, with that said I am looking at upgrading the rear soon.

I just swapped out my 3200 for a 4000 also. Been saving for a 9in for a awhile now, so I'm not to concerned if it breaks or not.

Past setup-Yank SS3600 / 4.56 10 bolt / Nitto 315-35-17 Drag radials-no problem. Currently Yank SS3600 / 3.23 10 bolt / Nitto 315-35-17 Drag radials-no problem.
