Do it once, do it right. I went SS3600 and I wanted a higher stall almost immediately

I'm wanting to move into a stall as i have a performance transmission but ran out of time and had to throw in a stock VMAX in to drive the vehicle. No cams yet here.

what is the biggest difference you guys notice with the stall in daily driving. I have 3.23 gears. What RPM's are you guys seeing, Negatives and positives?

With 3.73s you'll definitely want a 4000.

Honestly either one would work fine, I have no problems with my 3600 with 3.73s for driving around town. Your best bet might be to contact dave at yank and see what he says.
