Default 3400 to 3000 stall ???

I have a Fuddle 3400 stall in my car currently which needs to be changed, I was thinking about going with a performabuilt 3000 stall. How much of a change is there really going to be in performance and mpg? I was only planning on running Nittos, so I think even 3400 might have been overkill.

I think you'll be happy enough with 3000. I'm not going past
3500 myself. My TCI 3000 was a pretty good little converter
as far as the performance went, and smooth. What can they
tell you about the clutch and the balancing? These (slip and
misfire unlocks) are a big chunk of the complaining I see. Not
much advertisement of those quality factors, in a meaningful
way. Hard to know. Worth asking.

Performabuilt has a page with alot of infoe on ther converters http://www.performabuiltautomatics.com/converters.html

But that all sounds like mumbo jumbo to me becuase I don;t know much about converters. But theres alot of talk about high quality,know how, advanced, knowledge that would fool a novice like myself to believe there good converter lol.

With 400 stall speed drop, will I really feel any change in performance or mpg noticable?

well I could publish great detail about every aspect of our converters though I would probably get fired right after that , My understanding is that there are several aspects of out converter build which are completely unique to our units and as such are to be kept that way.
to address a couple common questions

1- what str are your converters = what str do you want ?
2- what converter clutch material do you use = High friction high temp carbon composite NO KEVLAR!
3- How will your high stalls feel in normal drivng = depends on the str you want everythings a compromise ,
4-Whats the rated hp of you converters= The manufacturer says 1200 hp
we rate conservatively to that at 800+ hp

anything else feel free to ask ill answer or if i dont know since Im not the converter guru
Ill find out for you ,

Hmm...When I ordered mine I did not specify an STR, and I wasn't asked. So what does one get in that case?

If you are staying bolt on than 3000 should be fine. If you’re going to go the cam Rout than an SS4000 is were it’s at

What does varience in STR cause as far as drive feel and mpg?

Yes, I'm just full bolt-ons. I may put a 150 shot and call it quits, at least untill I'm out of college. I have to conserve money for now. The main reasons I'm going with a 3000 is it's cheaper than higher number, will save me some gas money (though I don;t know how much), and think it might be the same as far as performance on Nittos.
