A4's...3200 or 3600 ? O.k. guys. Need help.
Here are my current mods in my 2006 A4 LS2 GTO:
hardcore intake
kook's headers
160 thermo
tune
353 h.p.
362 tq.
ran a best of 12.77 at 109 with a 1.92 60' (ideal conditions)
ready to go in the car are the following
236/238 .602 .605 on 112 lsa
patriot springs
comp cams pushrods
underdrive pulley
I want to know what converter you guys think I should go with
3200 or 3600?
Yank or Vigilante?
my car is not a daily driver - weekends and occasionally week nights - 5-10 times at the strip in spring/summer/fall
I had been planning on going with a 3200 but talked to Yank yesterday and they thought I should go with a 3600
any thoughts????
Thanks
Brian

for that size cam, i would do a 3600. im running a vig 3200 stall which is really like a 34-3500 stall. but my car will never see the track at all. you cant go wrong with a vig or yank for sure!!

3200 is too small. I will make a prediction here. I predict you'll go with a 3600 because everyone is going to pick that size between the two choices. Then six months from now you'll be saying "Man I wish I had gone with a 4000".
Do some research and maybe even PM a few guys running a yank SS4000. That's the converter you really want. You just don't know it yet.

The SS4000 is a sprayable converter. And with the cam he'll have he could spray a 200 shot on the ss4000 if he wanted to.

Honestly, drive someones car that is stalled.
Not everyone likes 4K stalls.
I had a 3500 and went to a 3200 because a majority of my driving was intercity. For the track the 3200 worked just fine, hell of a lot better than the stock stall.

exactly!!! i know alot of guys say go with 4k stall and bigger... but my car is all street. when i mean all street its a daily driver, and never will see the track, and im not trying to set records or anything. the vig 3200 is a proven and efficient verter. i honestly wanted a verter that would feel like stock driving around.. ive heard of some guys say driving a huge stall sometimes feels like its driving through mud..but a vig 3200 is really comparable to a yank 3600!!

There is a difference between a stock cubed LS1 with stock internals and a 402 LS2 with a 23x/23x camshaft. He won't make any decent power below 4000 rpm's. I guarantee if he gets a 3600 stall for "his setup" it'll be a matter of a few months before he wants more stall. Even for the street.
He still makes more power at lower RPM than his stocker...
For someone wanting max performance then getting a stall to match your peak TQ is the way to go, otherwise get what you want to drive and will be comfortable with.
Sacrificing the best 'performance' for driveability is what putting a good DD together is all about....you just need to find the sweet spot where you are not sacrificing too much on either side.
Also, be aware that with more cubes your TC will stall higher than advertised because of the massive torque.
Go big or go home lol. 
I can make it easier than that!! Call PTC, tell them what you have and they can build you a converter. Thats what I did and I love it!!

True. But behind an NA 402 it'll be minimal.
like i said, for his setup atleast a 3600 for that size of a cam. i went with a 3200 because i actually wanted something the closest to drive like stock as if i didnt have a verter. and not something that will somewhat be tolerable. and the vig 3200 and yank ss 3600 are the more popular street verters.
