Cost and labor worth it to restall? Currently have a Yank SS3200 in my 96 camaro. At the time when i put it in my car it was only a bolt on car. If i remember the cost to restall it is $450 + shipping. Is it worth it to have it changed to a 3600? What will the gains be going form a 3200 to a 3600?

Yank charges $300 for a restall. It's about $100 shipping round trip. So $400 total including shipping.

I emailed them and still waiting for a response back. But even if the price is good are the gains going from a 3200 to a 3600 worth the cost and labor? That is what i am trying to decide. Cause i dont know if the gain .1 seconds or .4 seconds.

Full bolt-on's, CC503 with supporting valve-train. CPT built trans. LT headers with X-pipe and bullets. Yank SS3200. 4.10's. Some weigh reduction. PCMFORLESS mail order tune. OEM bottom end. This winter i plan on removing a little more weight, installing 28 inch tires, upgrade fuel pump to support future mods. Will be converting to E85 when winter blend is no longer being used. Will go with a Soloman data log tune when i do the conversion. Already have injector for this. Install S60 rear after next tax season.
Not sure when ill be able to do this but sometime in the future i was thinking of installing unported Trick Flow 21* heads with ported intake to support the 185 runners with a custom grind cam. Being that i want to keep the shift point at 6300 rpm on the oem motor i dont see much of a reason to have them ported at this time. Will wait till i can rebuild. Want to keep the port velocity up incase i decide to throw a 100 wet shot on it.

What's the diameter of your current 3200 stall?
I think if it's a 11" or larger converter...you'll be unhappy in the long run.
A 9.5" 4k stall sounds right up your alley for the current mods and future goals.

The Yank SS are 9.5. I question is 4k would be too much. With a 100 shot wouldnt it stall closer to 4300-4400? Wouldnt that be too much? A 3600 with 100 shot i read will be closer to 3900.

I know. And i respect your opinion. I dont fully understand stall converters and dont know if something like 4k would cause any issues im not aware of. Like blowing through the converter with a 100 shot for a example. Thats whybi am asking.

Got my response back from Yank.
"We can go with more stall I would keep it around 3600 if you plan to maybe spray a 100 shot in the future and not shift the car past 6300RPM, if this a ¼ mile car. If you only race, or care more about 1/8 mile we can go with more stall because we don’t care about the shift extension on the big end of the track. More stall like a 3800-4000 will give the car a much more aggressive launch then the 3200 you have now and the 3600 will be a good upgrade as well just not as aggressive"
I have read more good then bad about Soloman. And with a cable rental to datalog i dont see how it "wont run for ****."
I have no numbers. I installed the CC503 a year and a half ago and only have a pcmforless mail tune in it. Had i known their tunes have went down hill that last few years i wouldnt have had them do the retune. Before the cam install the car ran a 12.86 in the quarter with a 1.83 1/8 mile. I dont remember the mph. My brother ran the car for me that day and he said he had wheel spin and with better traction probably could have ran a 1.7x 1/8. I know that currently the shift point is set at 6000. Everywhere i have read claim that cam shifts best at 61-6300 rpm on a stock head car. When i get it tuned next year for E85 im going to have the shift set at 6300 rpm.

So it's a cc503 lt1 with bolt ons and 410 rear with sticky tires?
I say with that rear end gear, 4000. Probably ss series, I'd just hate to restall from 3200 to 3600 and then wish I went 4000. My fti 3800 with 3.73 isn't that bad at all, but I'm ls1. 4000 with a 410 year should be great. Car must not be a highway cruiser with 4.10s?

I love my 4.10 gears. Even at 70mph with exhaust dumped at the axle on the interstate. Helps to drown out the sound of the nagging wife. Lol. When i install the 28 inch tires this winter that will help out a little with the sound. But it doesnt bother me.
I owned the hardware for years so I didn't have to rent anything. Cam and exhaust only, he gave up. Didn't even know how to disable COT.
Dude is a ******* dumbass.
