Too much converter? I have the opportunity to get a really good deal on a Yank PY3600. I am just trying to figure out if this is too much converter for my application. I want some of your personal experiences. Will there be any disadvantages to running this converter on my car? Or will it run 'not quite as good' as a different converter? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Whats the STR on that converter??? I run a SS series 3600 with a 2.5 STR and its nice and tight but still flashes like crazy on the bottle. I think you'll be fine with that one in your setup.
in that aspect, yes... a higher STR will be more efficient though and act "tighter" as its commonly referred to, giving you a little better street manners. Converters used in nitrous applications usually have a little lower stall speed and a touch higher STR than ones used in N/A cars. This keeps the engine in the "sweet spot" for the spray and transfers more power through to the trans. too low of an STR with the bottle and you'll blow right through it.

I think you will love that converter. Especially since its a lock up converter.
I have a 4k stall Coan in mine and while its not a daily driver I have no issues driving it on the street.
I was afraid of the stall for a long time and even went with a 2800 TCI when I had my 60E redone but I got the 4k stall with the TH400 when I bought it and have loved it ever since.
