It seems if money was not a factor people would have probably opted for the Yank converter.
On a side note GM high tech performance has a bolt on ls1 running 12.3's with the ssf3500. But would it of been better with the Yank?

loss MPG with converter? thinking about a 3500 for my stock a4
while driving normally or cruising on the highway, does the miles per gallon go down and how much?
what about driving in the snow or rain, does it rev up the RPM and takes off? ( = doing multiple unwanted donuts in the snow) or can i easy it out from a stop? thanks

The part number they had was 242932
But TCI's site doesn't mention the stall speed on that part number
