converter help i have a 1998 z28 with alot of bolt on mods and 373 gears hypetech programmed i have an slp yank 2400-2600 stall converter in it now but i feel she needs more maybe a 3200 stall? i want to keep it very streetable,now she hooks pretty good on the street with bfg drag radials but i feel the car has to get up little better maybe someone can give me a few ideas thanks. 
Re: converter help A SY 3500 is a great converter for stoplight racing with 3.73s. A Yank SS3600 is also surprisingly tight for a 3600 stall.
TCS could also build you something in a 3200 - 3400 stall range with a 1.9 STR that would be good for stoplight racing.

Re: converter help The low STR SY 3500 is relatively easy to hook up on the street because it doesn't hit the tires as hard as a high STR converter. The higher STR converters take a little more practice.
A very high stall, high STR is easier to hook than you might expect; the high stall looseness' provides some pedal room to step into your launch, although 3.73s do add to wheel spin. When I had a YTP 4000 with 3.23s, it was much easier to launch than when I switched to 3.73s.
I run nitto drag radials on the street, but keep the pressure up around 27 lbs +/- 1 to maintain decent cornering.
