i was looking at a tci converter with a 3800 stall, but i found a tci 4400 stall cheap. Is there going to be a huge differece. I will also be running n20, which ive heard makes you converter stall higher. The car will be driven street and strip. It has 390gears in it, never had a stall before so i dont know what to expect. basicly want to know how streetable it would be with a 4400 stall.
thanks

It's getting way up there. I've got a PT4000 in my 2000 SS. According to Yank, my converter has a shift extension of 5600 RPM so I can only imagine how much a 4400 will be. Also, when I asked about spraying my converter, they said it was going to get really loose in a hurry with a probably shift extention of around 6200+. That's on a PT4000. A 4400 converter on N20 is going to turn some hellacious RPM in a big hurry. This is Yank, not TCI though so I'm not sure if Yank's converters are a little looser for the rated stall speed or not.

 

The 4400 is not made for nitrous. You'll end up being slower if you combine the two.

 

Ya, don't combine a 4400 and n20. I have a 4400 and wouldn't have any less but I'm not a nitrous guy so...

 

u can not spray anyting above a 4200 it will just slip on the bottle

 

4400 is for wimps. I got a 8" 5500 converter.

 

Who makes that 5500?

 

shouldn't be a problem.

 

he has that in a turbo 350 or 400 that why he has s big of a convetor i am going that way when i go over to a 350

 

should buy a spragless converter if using NOS.Any converter will flash out 1000 rpm's higher when on NOS.Street use daily driver 4400 is kinda high...other ways to improve 60ft and easier on tranny.Gear,suspension,tires..pinion angle.Can 60ft 1.5 all day long on small 3200 conv.Just my 2 cents...its up to you

 

isn't that a little much for a little C1 cam only setup???

BTW, do you have HALs or some other adjustable shocks on the front? Noticed in your pic in your sig your car is launching higher on one side.

 

nothing is to much for Dereks car....I have seen it many times and it is BADASS!!!! That boy know his stuff b/c his car hauls!

 

5500 is for wimps, I've got an 8 inch 6300 A-1 converter. Top that.

 

4000 is the max i would use with the bottle and i wouldnt go over a 150 shot.

 

I have a true 4300 stall in mine. It's almost not enough. But I do have 3.23 gear so I probably need a little more than a low geared car.

For reference, I raced a stock engine 4.6 Cobra at the track last night that ran a 1.586 60' with only a 12.48 et @ 107.53 mph. He had a 5000 stall. Without that stall/60' he would have been a 13 second car. You just don't get that 60' with a normal stall and a 12.48 et. Of course his engine was a 7000 rpm engine but some of us LS1 guys have 7000 rpm engines too.

Get a converter with a true stall, not rated, 500 rpm below peak torque and you will get pretty close to optimum et.

 

i 60" 1.46 with my pt4400

 

I would expect a little bette rthan that even, hell I did way better than that in the 60 inch and I had an old Pro Torque 2800.
I think you meant 60'.

 

The 4400 and nitrous wont go well.
The 3800 however should work real nicely.
