They probably can't sell any b/c they never answer the phone nor return messages.

Here is a link to a review I did on the SS 3800 when I first got it. Since then I have been cutting mid 1.6's all the time.

I would love to see the results from a 3.23 geared full weight bolt-on car with no traction issues.

Yes, Ditto from The Colonel's post. A '02 3.23, 35-3600 lb. F bod w/a SS 3600 brandy new Yank. Let's hear some 1/4 mi. numbers and driveability comments, also torque management and any other issues---positive OR negative. Thanks.

It is lowered with basically no weight transfer on a mild heads/cam car and he cracked a 1.65 60' I believe. This is in Phoenix, AZ at firebird which is a pretty crappy track. He was running ET streets. He absolutely loves the converter.

I had my SS3800 installed a few weeks ago and I love it. My car is a basically stock '02 SS with SLP OEM lid and CME. Also have a Predator to firm up the shifts and delete the torque management. Have a set of Jet-Hot Headers awaiting install. Only problem is, tracks are closed until 1 March.

Not sure what I am going to do for traction, but will go either w/ ET streets or Nitto's. Don't think the Nitto's will hold, so probably the ET Streets. On the F1's from a 15mph or less, the car will spin the tires all day and not hook up.

As a daily driver, I am very happy with my choice. No issues with a little over 400 miles.
I'll post results as soon as we can get some of these tracks open.

I am completely satisfied with my SS3800. Nittos will not hold! I happened to get a 1.7 out of mine a couple of weeks ago, but for the most part I spun the crap out of them. Driveablilty has not been an issue whatsoever. No lockup problems and partial throttle response is great. I am gonna try my BFG's next time at track and see how they hold up, but I am sure I will be purchasing at least some ET streets.

Oh and I wouldn't bother with the SS3600. just go with the SS3800 and be done with buying converters.
