Default Yank SS3200 vs SS3400 vs SS3600

I'm having a hard time making my mind up about a converter choice. The mods are in my sig, no plan on cam anytime soon <if I do one it will be a TR224>. I very seldomly go to the track, the car is my daily driver and I have 285/40/17 Goodyear F1's. I don't plan on running drag radials <I know that's gonna hurt me with any converter, but I drive 60 miles round trip to work a day and can't afford the short lived drag radials>. Any suggestions on which Yank SS series to get and why? Thanks for the input!

A friend has the SS3200. It's a fantastic daily driver converter that will do well on the occasional trip to the track.

if its a daily driver and even if you get a cam, go with a 3200. if your not going to go to the strip every weekend then its not really worth it to go to a 3600. but thats just me

I have the 3600 but from what you described it sounds like you want the 3200. Especially since you don't take it to the track and you won't run a sticky tire.

Right on...it's a great converter for a daily driver, even with extensive mods.

go with the 3600 dude. such a nice convertor. i've driven mine for about 2 days now and i love it. has such street mannors but when you wanna no that theres a convertor there you can.

3600 won't regret it if you do.

its all in what you like. if i had it to do over again, i would go with a 3200. and if you ever want ot sell this car, the stall is going to be very hard to explain. most people are going to think you drag the car, or some people wont even know what it is and when they get in it the'll think the tranny is going bad

This is true,but if your not going to ever sell it I would go with the 3600.I have had a SS4000 for over 2 years and I love it.But it was with a C/H motor and now a 408.It is awesome and drives like my 3200 Vig did.I know of a guy with a cam only vette from the shop I deal with and he had the SS3600 and Loved it... But it is your choice

Thanks for the replies guys! Interesting though that no one has mentioned the SS3400? I'm mostly concerned with driveability as I put around 20K on my car per year. I can deal with the looseness, that's no big deal <most of my driving is at 55mph>. The biggest concern I have is that I will not be running drag radials,. I'm looking for a happy medium on street tires <I know from a dig it'll be a lost cause any which way>. When it rains in Florida it pours and I've had a couple scary incidents in the rain with drag radials <not to mention I'm still on a 10 bolt>. If the converter were cheaper then it wouldn't be that hard to make up my mind, but this is a fairly expensive purchase, and one I only want to do once! Thanks for all the feedback, I'll probably hold out for a few more opinions before I make my own.

make sure you run a tranny cooler with any of those converters. 4l60 trans. arent known to be rock crushers
