3.23 - SS3600
3.42 - SS4000
3.73 - PT4000

All of these are made by Yank. I have the SS4000 and absolutely love it.

Mostly depends on his gear and how much slop he is looking for. I will say, the 4000 stalls are not for everybody. I love mine though

I would definitely recommend no less than a 4000 stall speed, too, for that camshaft and best track performance. We have the TCI Competition converters on sale for $642.99 + shipping, and you can pick your stall speed from 4000 to 4600 RPM. We've used the TCI converters in all of our cars with EXCELLENT results!

Feel free to give me a call or e-mail me at trevor@texas-speed.com if you have any questions or concerns. I'm here to help.

If you want one, then get a 4000 stall. Some people do not like the looseness from 4000+ converters. If I were my car and wanted the most out of it, the PT4000 would be my choice. If you have 3.73's, then the PT4400 will be a better choice. Definitely, go with Yank. There is NO BETAING a PT Converter in performance.

3800......... I thought you wanted to step up to the 4000 stall

Good luck on the install. Should be a nice bump in performance.
