Default got my stall in today!

Driving it home from the shop it felt kinda weird like it was too loose. The more i drive it, the better it felt(tighter). probibley because im getting used to it. the rpm's stay around 2k most of the time.

Thats all i can say being its only the 1st day. I need time to break it in. Then i will have a full write-up on my SS3600. I think im going to like this verter.

Congrats… I've had my SS3600 for about 2 months now and I love it. It made the car a lot of fun to drive.

I loved it from the moment I pulled away from the shop, I never liked the way it felt stock and I was more than happy to have done away with that crap...

Yes, or else you will damage the clutches in it. Your supposed to drive it for about 150 miles. Dont go past half throttle. Stop & go traffic speeds up to 50. Just take it easy. Yank tells you how to on their site.

I ran it through one tank before I played with it. Mainly they want the clutch to break in.

just take it easy, unless you wanna buy a new converter down the line. be a normal driver for 150 miles, it's not hard. there's nothing wrong with passing on a race if it comes along.

I remember the first feeling when I had mines put in. It used to roll back on hills, like a manual and if you took your foot off the brake at a light, the car wouldn't move. Now, the cam is pushing the car forward.
