I was thinking about going to a 3000 stall but have a chance to get a 3500 at a good price. Currently still stock w/ 3.23. Is there much difference from a 3000 to 3500? Im street use only w/ 9lbs boost. thanks

 

More people go with the SSF3500 than the SF3000.
It's just a notch more racey, harder hitting, etc.
Just going to have to learn to control your foot if
you want to hook up at all with the higher STR.

 

I would get the 3500 if I were you, the 3000 is a little to boring and you will gain around .1 more with 3500; and maybe more with the right setup.

 

i had 3000 and than has it restalled to 3800...difference OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Don't waste your time with the 3000. I got a SSF3500, first stall I have had and I wouldn't have anything smaller. If I could snap my fingers it would be a 3800. Just don't go too high if you plan to spray. Get the 3500, you'll love it.

 

I had been thinking about the 3000 on account of less slippage in traffic and better overall driveability in town. Plus street tires would have a better chance of handling it. It would seem that a better e.t. with the 3500 requires stickier tires and more finesse in hooking up.

 

I have a Y3000 2.0 STR, however I have it coupled to 3.73's. I am very satisfied with this particular setup.

If I had the stock gearing (3.23's), I would go with the 3500 stall with at least a 2.5 STR.

JMHO

I consider the SSF3500 to be extremely streetable. After having it 4 months it seems stock. You'll get used to it real quick. A converter's just like a cam, the first one never seems to be big enough. When I was looking at converters I too wanted a 3000. But the guys on here recommended I get the 3500. I listened and am glad I did. As far as not being able to launch the car with the 3500, I can on street tires. Not at 2200rpms and flooring it, but quickly rolling into it and controlling the wheelspin. It does take some practice, but it can be done. Good luck in whatever you decide.

 

there isnt much difference between both veters.
the 3500 will give you more traction issues.
i have a tci3000 and nitto DRs and still spin.
the tci street fighter is a nice veter that feels just about stock when driving around normal.

 

How is the shift extension with the 3000?

 

Yeah, I'd like to know that also. I understand it's about 4600 with the 3500.

 

yah the ssf 3500 is best used for bolt-on (non-cam) cars. Anything else go bigger for higher shift extension.

this is for n/a of course,boost different story.

 

As yours is a daily drive, I would go the 3000. You can always stall it higher later if you want to. I drove a 3500 with a 220ish cam and hated it. With boost you will be pushing the stall higher anwyay. I am sure this is what Yank would be recommending you to.
