Ok anyone here have a performabuilt converter. Wanting to see how its holding up.

Thinking of purchasing the converter and level 2 tranny package today.

What would be good for my 400WHP ta with a 150 shot?
ive had a 3600 stall in it for a lil while now. thinking of stepping it up to a 4000?
this is a 4l60e trans if that makes a diffrence

Do i want to switch or no?
And am i going to have problems with a performabuilt converter?
should i look into a diffrent brand?

 

Well I would advise you to do a search since there are quite a few out there however. I just checked and it looks like search isnt working at present. You likley howevr would get a better response if the title said opinions on performabuilt converters, We have howeve had excellent results with them IMO of course my opinion would be considered biased I am sure lol

 

I would run a Yank SS4000. With your power level and a 150 shot on top of that, you KNOW that it is from a reliable company and it will take the abuse.

Plus Yank now has a 3 year warranty on their converters. Performabuilt doesnt...

 

I have a vig 3200 right now and was told that it is a under rated 3600 whether or not it is............ its totally streetable and bought the car with it. If I were to buy one again I think I'd go for atleast a 3600-3800 and would probably end up ordering the 4000 in the end. I am sure its not that bad on the street. Do it up Will be kickass in the 1/4 on the jug!

 

imho, stay with a 3600-3800 if your sprayin a 150 shot.

 

Good advice Matt. I too would recommend a Yank SS4000. Awesome performance on and off the bottle, unbeatable warranty and legendary name .

 

yank ss4000 for sure if you want to spray!!!!! we have a pt4000 & love it go with a reputable company the first time! yank or vig my 0.2 worth!

 

I was going to question the comment about I'll be buying this brand only.

I also wanted to know if the car was street driven.

The .200 et improvement is normally a safe estimate.

You mentioned nothing about the delivery of your 150 shot. Some delay after you smash the T/B open or something else? There were some very inexpensive nitrous programers five years ago. Example some percentage of the full hit, some where in the first 60' - ramp up to the full shot when ever the hell you wanted. You talk about being able to dial a track!

An old man and his dog!

 

when you spray a stall converter i think that the stall speed is related to engine torque. With a 4000 stall i think it will flash higher.

 

Thats correct but depends on what he's after I guess. Go atleast 36-3800 imo

 

well whats your choice?????????

 

im going vig 3200!! good all around verter. if it feels and drives like stock, than thats fine with me.

 

My SS3600 with 3.73 gears feels almost stock too. Gotta love it.
