Ok, I put it in yesterday. (FYI Install torque converter BEFORE you install the BMR Trak Pack! )

Let me just say that this converter is extremly "tight" for being a 4400 stall. I have no problem driving around like it was my 4000 again, but when you want to go a little quicker, the rpms can reach 3000, which is expected with a stall this high, but I was impressed by it's low rpm manners.

I was trying to test it out, but over the local bridge I had an undercover cop behind me juts trailing me....soooooo that was out, cops don't like testing on the street I have found.....

So I get to this little stretch of road, I am like, "HEY.....THIS IS EMPTY!" so I give it a quick stab at about 20mph.....

This was easily the first time my car has actually scared me in a LOOONNNNNGGGGG time....I was shot back into the seat like I was cutting a 1.5 60ft, but this was a dman 20mph roll! My cams power is made at 6000-6800(where I spin it to). I had to do it again, so I turned down another open "safe" street, this time I looked at the tach. I hit it, and the tach slams to 5900rpm!!!!!! There is no delay in the power at all now, and I love it!

If you are gonna use this to help you buy your next converter I tell you this:

Get your car dyno'd, look at where the curve seems to like the power at, and match the shift extension to that curve the bext you can, or the most you can tolerate. This converter feels very "tight" for it's high stall speed, and not too much different than my old SS4000. I can tell you that the shift extension on my car with 3.73s, 26x11.5-15 ET Streets, 6800rpm shift, that the shift extension is right around the high 5800's to the 5900's. Which is about as close to perfect as you can get for a cam that kicks in right around 5900-6000. :yup:

Thank you Yank, and I hope to give your name and reputation even more great representation. Wish me luck as I plan to take the car into the low 11s cam only.....then once that happens, we will see what else it has in her.

 

Funny to see not one damn person is interested in the newest converter on the market!

 

You wont beleive it at the track with some sticky tires. I cant slam to the floor on the street any under 55 mph. Im running 275/50/15 bfg street tire though. Keep us posted on track results.

 

I would be very curious to see this compaired to the PT.......

 

Bastard!!!! I want it but not until I build up my 4L60E. Let me know your track results and more importantly, how much mph you will increase.

 

yes keep us updated and dont try to blow ur tires off all the time lol

 

I have a 100% Stock 4L60E....

I will have NO times.....well untill fuggin December 15th! Our track closes for events all this month! :madred:

 

Bro its not that people are not interested, Its just that its a freakin high stall

I am getting a Yank but it will probably be the SS3400....

 

I was looking at those in fact the PE 4200.just waitin to see what others like you would do at the track first.no worries Iii have the whole month to decide.

 

Well my local track is closed for TNT all month except for the 15th and the 17th.....I will be there BOTH days for sure!

I might have to get the car into bracket racing just to get some runs in this week or something.....

 

is the STR the same as the PE 4200?

 

Id be interested in the MPH too.

 

I too am looking @ upgrading.. my daily driven machine...
I am currently runing the Yank SY 3500 with about 30K on it...

I think i need it with my new cam...

 

I would comfortably say this is NOT a daily driven converter.....but best of luck anyways.

 

I just got my SS3200 this weekend

Good luck

 

Why do you say that it's not a daily driven converter? You say it's not too different from your old SS4000 and I have the SS3800 with 2.73s and it's not bad for daily driving.

 

ok so you go from a 3800 stall (on a 21 blade stator) to a 4400 stall (on a traditional 18 blade stator).

world of difference. that SS3800 would be a comfortable DD unit. the 4400 is rough and for track use and ocational weekend driving. ofcourse there are always other opinions.

i rode in this car with the SE4400. its just as loose as the PT4400.

 

I would say that if you have a high tolerance for 3500-4000rpm acceleration with traffic, then this converter is fine for a daily driver. It's not my daily driver, and if it was.....being the type of person I am, I would probably still get it. It feels similar to my SS4000 only in the fact that I can keep the rpms low and still accelerate somwhat normaly, but if you want to pass.......you are looking at an easy 3800rpm.

 

Ok that's a bit more info, thanks

 

good luck Kevin!! I cant wait to see that thing in action now! we may have to meet up some time so you can take on the street with that thing!
