I ran 11.6's with not the best 60 foot with a setup similar to yours. i'd guess 11.4's

SS4000 w/3.73's, mods & times in the sig. Shift extension with a 6500-6600 shift point is 5200-5300. That converter with 3.73's is a VERY driveable combo on the street, except for traction of course. Nitto's didn't work at all. Have M/T ET Street Radials on it now. Still spins em on the street but hooks pretty well at Moroso which usually isn't the best prepped track. Based on your idea of a daily driver, you won't mind this converter at all.

Using my times as a baseline, you shouldn't have a problem getting into the low 11's with your heads and bigger cam.

What will MPH better, a Vig 3600 or a Yank 4400?

Lets take it a step further, if one was looking to stay N/A, cam-only and looking to shift in the 6500-6600 range and looking for some decent MPH, whats better?

I will not be setting the car up suspenson wise to hook from a dead stop, but certainly I will be on tires. I'd be very happy a convertor that maybe is 'only' capable of 1.6s but have a stronger push up top. Am I correct in thinking the Vig may hit a bit harder but the Yank will pull harder from a roll and tack on some extra MPH??

I know from experience that the change for my car going from the Vig3600 to the PT4000 is night and day!

best 1/4 w/ the Vig3600 and E/T streets was
= 12.74@106 1.77 60ft
best with the PT4000 and Nitto 315/35/17's was
= 12.09 @109 1.61 60ft

Everything was the same on the car other than the Convertor and tires.
Just my .02 cents worth for ya.

My vote for the Yank 4400!

what makes the PT faster from the roll and the SS launch harder? this is what yank told me anyways. i assume the PT would be more efficient then?

That's with Bilstein Level II suspension.....hardly ideal for drag racing! I get about 180 miles to a tank with mostly city driving. I used to get 330 to a tank on the highway but haven't taken a trip since I did the cam/4400. I did go to Memphis which is 150 miles one way and it seemed to get better mileage than it ever did. I ended up racing though and couldn't accurately gauge the mileage.

If you can stand a little looseness, the PT4400 is fine for DD. I would recommend gears though. The 3.23's make for a great highway car, but it needs 3.90's at a minimum.

PT is significantly looser...to me this is what makes it faster on the highway. It is night and day difference from the SS. The SS felt slow in comparison. SS is a 2.6 STR, PT4400 is 2.5 STR. That would make the SS launch harder.

So the ss launches harder and less top end, PT launches softer and better top end

The PT launches just as hard as the SS IMO. They sure feel similar at the track. I cut a 1.63 short time with the PT and a 1.75 short time with the SS. However, the SS run was with Nittos that had to be babied out of the hole, the PT was with MT ET Streets that hooked wonderfully. I would guess that you wouldn't be able to feel a difference between the two on launch. All the noticeable differences to me were at WOT from any speed. Like I said, the SS is no match for a PT on the highway. Based on my personal experience, I'd say the SS is no match period for the PT series.....at the track or on the street.

Very nice....let me say that while I am a huge fan of the PT series, the SS series are still great converters. You can't beat the SS4000 for driveability in the city. It's a great all around street converter. I prefer the PT4400 hands down, but it certainly isn't for everyone. The SS is much friendlier on a daily basis.
