If you have 2.73 gears, the TT3000 with 3.0 STR is an excellent choice. For 3.23s or higher go with the SY 3500 (mainly street) or ST 3500 (street/strip with nittos).

If you have never driven a converter before, don't plan to race, and have 3.23s, a Yank 3000 or SLP 3300 would be good daily driver choices too.

Do not buy the TT3000 with the 2.5 STR

thanks ragtop! i have 3.23 gears and do plan on some racing (mostly steet) and i have a set of nittos on there now. i've driven with a converter before, but that was with a HEAVILY modded mustang....i didn't know if there would be a huge difference in converters. i'm going to call about the ST3500. i hope it'll work out good.

For street racing, I really like the SY 3500. It has a low STR which makes it easy to learn to launch hard on the street with nittos running 26 - 28lbs. Perfect for stoplight racing a mustang that revs on you while waiting for the light to change. It will also dead hook with heated nittos if your street races are not chance meetings <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

The ST has a 2.5 STR and will take a little more practice for stoplight racing. It can be dead hooked with heated nittos at lower pressures.

Both converters will help you from a roll too.
