Oh it will be noticeable. I have the SS3800. With your gearing though, it will be a bit tighter, get some 3.73s and you'll be alright

Yes, a new converter will definitely be noticable, but don't worry. You will get used to it and soon forget that you even switched converters.

It will mainly just be "looser": you'll have to give it more pedal to get it going. But that's it.

So do I and mines is worse with 2.73s. You'll be fine but your tires won't be unless you have some DRs.

just put the ss3600 in my car recently and it runs great, when you flash it watch out You do get use to it real quick, just a little more pedal to get going. The only thing i've noticed is sometimes if your going like 20 and merging slowly into traffic or something the rpms seem to hang in 2nd/3rd sometimes around like 2500...but my shift points might need a little more tweaking. And the locking/unlocking on the highway takes a bit to get use to.
