Default SS4000 to much on N2O

Ok guys Im stuck right now deciding weather to order an SS4000 or SS3600 for my 98 SS. The car is going have a 228/232 cam along with a 100 - 150 shot from time to time along with heads next winter. The problem is i dont know if with my 3.23's if with the N2O this would be to much converter? Which would you go with?

I'd go 3600.....the 4000 would be too much for that cam on the juice IMO.

+1 for SS3600

if you cut out too much of your powerband, you'll have no time to spray

yank say the SS4000 is good for up to a 200 shot when i have called. a 150 shot will be no problem. this converter is nothing like the PT4000 which is very loose

i never quite understand why so many 4L60e racers are affraid of spraying a loose converter? i sprayed my Yank ST4000 with success. i have a converter that is coming up to around 4200 rpms n/a and i spray it with a 150 shot and holds great.

You will be fine with both converter and the 3.23 gears. I have on a rare occasion sprayed a 75 shot on my H/C car with 3.73 gears and a TCI 4000 stall. The only problem I have is crossing the traps at 6700rpm. If I sprayed the car all the time I would go with a 3200/3500 converter or 3.23 gears.

The SS4000 will flash to about 6200-6400 on a 200 shot. It wasn't what I was expecting.

thinking i will go with the ss4000 and just do the h/c first. The car wont see more then a 100-150 shot before a forged bottom end which wont be till after a 4l80e and 12 bolt with 3.73's

This is pretty much the same boat I'm in and I talked to Yank before ordering the converter, they said I would be fine on a 150 shot.

With that cam I'd go with the SS3600. The 4000 will be too much stall.

Default yank...

wow I didn't know you can run that big of a shot on a ss stall.. what is the use of the py3600e stall? they say it is a nitrous stall, how big of a shot can you run on it?

I just picked up the py3600 stall. so for the first yr. running it I will be just h/c. until I build my forged stroker, and then hopefully a 200 shot on it.. will it stall high enough for my cc306 cam to come alive NA?

or should I just sell it and try to find a ss3600 that might stall higher?
