Default 4l80e converter choices.. Yank SS vs Edge Street Series

I am working on gathering 80e swap parts. It's a h/c 430whp t56 car now. 4.10 S60, 26" slick. Will have a 150 plate on it after the 80e gets lined out. I am torn between the slightly cheaper edge street series around 35-3600 stall or the more expensive yank ss3600. Don't want a loose converter would rather it be slightly on the tighter side. Like I said it will have spray but I dont want to leave anything on the table NA either. It's not a DD but does see street time and street racing. Most of the time it will be NA. Not worried about retaining street manners. Need some good insight here ready to but a converter asap as soon as I make up my mind lol

I have yank ss 3600 works great. Don't go cheap on a converter.

Not trying to cheap out. They are both proven converters. A $250 b&m from jegs would be cheaping out. Just looking to hear some real world testimony on both

Better performance, better driving. My edge was a 3200, but drives like my Yank 4k. It did not mph or 60ft "great" at the track with the Edge. So if its not doing anything really well, and another converter can, why would you choose it. The Yank drives ok and hits hard as hell at the track, mph is normal not great or bad.

You ever use the Yank with a hit of nitrous? Everyday 150 plate or similar for instance?
