I have a yank 3600ss stall and it is extremely tight. I've been considering sending it back and having it restalled to the ss4000. How much different will the 4000 be? My tuner thinks the car will pickup alot with a loser stall, he thinks the current stall is killing my car.

If you are trying to pick up time in the quarter mile yes you want the 4000...but saying a 3600 is tight is kinda crazy lol...a stock stall is tight!

I swear its tighter then a stock stall. Everyone that has driven my car can't believe how tight it is. Its extremely street friendly but doesn't feel like it hits that hard.

If your spraying stay with the tight 3600. Are send it back and let them loosen it up a little. I like the 4000 for n/a though.

I think your right, maybe I should have it loosened up a bit but stay at 3600. I've been looking at the circle D convertors alot lately but I can't make up my mind.

97camaro383 I know it's off topic but did you install you trans/converter combo at the same time? I just ordered the exact same combo and wanted to hear from someone with the same setup, how do you like it? Also were you able to drive the car to the tuner? I wanna make sure I protect my investment and am prepared to trailer if necessary...thanks

I bought the car with the setup already in it. I had the flt trans break due to wheel hop and had to send it in to be rebuilt. FLT's turn around time was amazing and service was top notch. So far I really like the combo but my 3600ss is tight and sometimes I wish it was looser or a bigger converter (like a 4k). So far it loves the 150shot and I think you'll be extremely happy with the setup. I don't have a truck/trailer so Im sure it could be driven to a tuner, but if you have a way to haul it, then i'd do that. No reason to risk damaging anything after dumping all the money into it.

When I talked to Dave he liked the SS3600 better for anything in the 150+shot size.

Most seem to like the SS3600 better on spray vs the 4000 from what I've read.

Circle D can also redo your current stall to their specs but it's a little bit more than what Yank will charge to restall your converter.

I had the SS3600 and with 3.73s I was surprised how tight it felt and was used to it within a matter of days, the shift extension left some to be desired and I wanted a little bit better 60fts.

In the red is exactly how I feel. I feel like its super tight, tuner doesn't like my shift extension, and Id like to get the 60fts of a 4k converter. I've considered going to a 4k and leaving the car on a 100 shot instead of a 150

I had a TCI SF3000/2.2 before switching to the SS3600. The SS3600 flashed 500rpm higher, but shift extension and 60 fts. were exactly the same. So yeah, it's a pretty tight converter for its stall rating.

I'm running a fti 4000 hard it. I love it. Its a tire fryer on the street. I wouldn't DD this stall.

You sure it's a 3600? Never heard a 3600 being described as extremely tight. Unless your running a 24in tire and 6.33 gears.. Even my previous 2800stall I wouldn't consider extremely tight..

97camaro383

Yea its a 3600. Im running 315/35/17 tires and have 3.73 gears. I let a buddy drive my car after he put a circle d 3400 converter in his car and he couldn't believe how tight my converter was compared to his.

Why keep running a converter not built to suit your needs?
Id pull it and have one built to mort my goals.

I agree, I've spoke with FTI about doing a custom converter once but wasn't sure if that was the best option.

I'm running a fti converter. I had one built to my needs, granted its over kill right now but I only wanted to buy once and not worry about a restall.. With that said I'm thrilled with my converter..

I am in this conversation right now with some people on The Bullet and Chris at Circle D. I am sending mine back for a re-stall. Even if you do get a custom converter built, once you get to a certain point, you have to decide if you are after a converter maximized for nitrous or one that is optimal for N/A.

From what people have been sharing with me, for street/strip LS motors like ours, the tighter (higher STR) 3600 converter vs the loser(lower STR) 4000+ converter is pretty much the decision you will be up against for a street strip style LS car anyway.

It appears we cannot have our cake and eat it too.

For me, I think I am going to have the converter as lose as possible and still handle a 200 shot. I am guessing the is going to be the higher STR 3600-3800 sized converter.

Its hard to decide what company to try for me, I know people that went with fti converter and their car slowed down. I've seen people happy with PTC, Circle D,FTI, and Yank. I've really considered Circle D lately because everyone has positive things to say about them and their customer service.
