Converter shopping...
Im looking for a good street/strip verter. I want to know the IN CITY RPM that you will see with either the ss3600 or ss4000. Stop and go traffic. I know it will be higher than stock, but how much higher. BTW this is my DD.

I heard the VIG was the Best in the business, that's why I got mine, for reliability, Best Torque converter clutch on the market, for stop and go/Strip, that's what "I heard"... Good Luck..

Just ordered a 3400 from Fuddle. I don't know alot about converters, so correct me if I am wrong. I was talking with John from Fuddle Racing told him my mods, use of the car. I have more done to my car than Hell'sChariot, so it seems to me that a 3600 stall would be a little much for his car?

Go more if you can handle it .. 4000 seems right for a smallblock. I launch my 6speed car at 5500rpm . Shift extension rpm stays 4000 + with 4.11 gears .

Thanks for the input guys. I really want the 4000, but Im afraid it might be too big, thats why Im thinking the 3600 might be better for me. But then theres people that say the 4000 is not that bad. I just dont want to have to do this twice, that can get expensive. BTW I have stock gears (3.23).

WRONG!!!......3500 is great, but not quite enough. This is my DD that might see the track a couple times a year. If your exhaust isn't super loud, you won't even realize you have a stall once you get used to it. Well, not until you hammer it .

My 4400 is on my only car. I daily drive it in town, HW, etc. It took a little getting used to but it is a piece of cake now and the car launches like a damn rocket. It revs up to 2k-2.5k on normal start ups from light and when be loose from 2krpms to 3krpms between 1-40mph. You can have a tuner set your lockup speed to like 20mph so it acts like normal in town driving, but I didn't buy a stall converter for a tame drive!
