The Yank SS series is one of the tightest line of converters around. I have a heads, cam, longtubes, high-flow cats, etc., car and I'm running the Yank SS3200. I rode in a TCI3500 Camaro and didn't like that at all. My car is very loud and I had the same concern as you. I didn't want to sound like an F15 hitting afterburner everytime I was leaving a stoplight. The SS3200 drives almost like stock. And, with an 800rpm idle, it moves the car in Drive and Reverse, at idle, just like a stock converter. When you hit the loud pedal it explodes. I love it. I'm sure the SS3600 is looser than mine, but I'm also sure it's tighter than any other manufacturer's 35-3600. Yank makes a great converter.

SS3600 + 3.23 gears here, car moves at 1400-1800rpm's but that is dependant on throttle.
You will be running between 1800-2500rpm's to get around town, unlocked. On the highway you will see around 1500rpm in 4th gear (locked) at about 50mph give or take. I have a video, let me see if I can find it.

i have a 3.73 gear and im around 2k-2.5k when getting up to speed around town, it will move by just taking my foot off the brake though. Cruising in the highway is like 2400 @ 70mph. Its a bad *** converter though, i highly recommend it.

It took me about 1800-2000 rpms to get moving from a standstill. Now with the cam and a 900rpm idle it will creep forward with my foot off the brake and move at about 1500-2000 rpms with a light foot on the gas.

Verdad Gallardo Hmm with all that in your sig, I don't see tires? Your car is going to go nowhere 
Personally I would do without the gears and see how you like it. Besides its a waste installing them into the stock rear.

Keep the stock gears until you build up the rear, use the money for drag radials. 
I'm considering a stall for a daily driver, that probably wont see the track that often (but I havent been yet so after my first visit I may be going all the time ). At first I was thinking 3000 or less, but everyone seems to say you'll regret it.
BlackHawk - Beautiful car (saw the pics) and helpful vid. Question though. In similar driving (acceleration etc) with stock converter Im mostly under 2k RPMs. I noticed you were usually between 2-3k RPMs. How much does this effect your gas mileage?
Also, doesn't anyone drive a stall without DRs, or is that pretty much a must have? It seems like the life on DRs would be way shorter than streets and you can't rotate.

You can ride around on street tires but don't expect to have any traction with them if you try to give more than half throttle with the converter. Where are you in Melbourne? I'll be back in the area once September is over, I can show you how the converter works. 
You can launch a stall at the track on street tires. It just takes a lot of practice. I used to do it all the time. I could cut 1.9 60' on my Bridgestone Potenza RE750's with a SS3600. Excellent street tires IMHO, I highly recommend them. Don't expect to run great times unless you have some sticky tires though. Chances are, you will only be slightly faster than with the stock converter on street tires.
If you want a tighter feel when driving then get a lower stall. From my experience (2 different stalls, Midwest 3400 and Yank SS3600), the car will not feel as fast normal driving with a higher stall. That's just my experience. It could be that my car has not been tuned for the converter. Tuning is highly recommended with a higher stall.

And for the LS1 engine, you will regret going with a 3000. This is my first converter, and I think I made a great choice. It helps to do your research.
