I would use the SS4000. You can supposedly spray the PT4000, but the result isn't as good as the SS4000.

Vig 3600 should be loose enough on motor and tight enough for spray.

Bigger cams seems to work well with bigger converters. I had the SS4000 with my cam but upgraded when my tranny fried to the PT4400 because I don't plan to spray. Needless to say, I like the 4400 a lot more than the 4000. I gained a lot in performance too.
