Default ss3600 or ss4000 for this application?

I have recently swapped a 2001 Silverado 5.3L into a 2002 Chevrolet s-10. It has the following modifications:

LS1 Intake manifold
Short tube headers
Cold Air Intake
2.5 Y pipe to Single 3.5" exhaust (no Cats)
ASP underdrive pulleys
Comp 216/220 .525/.532 114LSA
Custom tuning VIA HP Tuners and Nelson Performance.
NOS 125HP Wet kit.
NEW 4L60E
Transgo HD-2 Shift Kit
Corvette servo
3.73 Rear Axel
3800lbs W/driver
Mickey Thompson Drag radials.

This is a street strip truck that does absolutely no towing. It is not daily driven. I am looking to achieve about a 3600rpm stall I have a stock converter now. Streetability is not a big concern.

Best N/A time (only 2 N/A passes so far)

60' - 2.019
1/4 - 13.55
MPH - 103.43

Best N20 Time (progressive 100shot)
60' - 1.99
1/4 - 12.59
MPH - 113.99

What converter would you recommend.

Give us a call at 775 826 9955

as traction will be an issue in the S-10

Hmm you say streetability isn't a concern, so why go with the SS?

Why not a Pro Yank or something more drag oriented?

The reccomendation by yank was SS3600 due to the tracition issues that s-10's have. more drag oriented would probably just spin off the line. I am not hugly concerned with sreet driving but i do a bit of highway so it must lock up. I am sure this converter will be great.

An SS is the way to go. He is spraying it. the py is to tight of a convertor.

I talked with yank for awhile, and they are the ones who suggest to get my ss4000

SS is the tightest converter they make because the STR is designed for lower RPMs (street driving)...

I would have gone with a more Nitrous / race converter such as:

PRO YANK 3600 EXTREME

258mm, Posi Lock-Up Clutch w/Kevlar Linings, 6 bolt mounting lugs , lightweight billet cover, 3600 stall, 2.30 STR
