Time for converter change, what should I do next? OK, my car is a daily driver and I drive it 500+ miles per week. Check my signature for the mods that's in it now with the addition of 3:73 gears. I cut 1.8 60' on ET Streets with the SY3500 it would hook and then spin before hooking again so I need to remove the front sway bar. I want the best streetability and power transfer. I know the SY is supposedly the best top end converter so can say a ST3800 or TP4400 be a better switch or should I stay with the SY3500. Best run was 11.7@116 and 406/431 on the dyno with no tricks. Thanks in advance, and please post what you think, I want something new ASAP, I hate this SY3500 unless someone can talk me into keeping it.

Re: Time for converter change, what should I do next? Pretty unusual to spin with the SY 3500 and ET Streets. I see guys cut a mid 1.7x with it on 3.23/bolt-ons/nittos so I'm surprised you're not in the high 1.6x with 3.73s gears & a cam.
Going to a ST or YTP is going to increase your traction issues. I would get that sorted out first and then figure out what you want to accomplish.
