what stall to go with?
but like others have said.. you need to figure out what your goals are for the car..
plan on DD it?
poweradders?
motor?
cam?
heads?
tires?
this all changes the factor on what converter would be best for your car.
full bolt on geared DD car get a ss3600
plan on a cam and DD get a ss4000
plan on full bolton car that you drive on the weekend only and running NA. pt4000
plan on cam or cam and heads weekend car NA get a pt4400
my car with full boltons gears and 315bfg drags ive got the pt4400 and i love it..
i see alot of guys with the high stalls, my question is why did you chose such a high stall? and how sluggish does the car feel off the line? i use to keeping my stalls around 3200 or so for daily driver but my LS1 GTO is the first LS car i've owned and after looking at my dyno i see the curves are totally different than anything i ever messed with. so do the higher stalls work better with the LS motors also?
Ironically I just talked to Yank converters about two hours ago. I was looking at the ss3600. I'm going to run headers, ls6 intake, tsp 228 cam, patriot stage 2 heads, and 3.73's. I told them I was getting the transmission freshened up in two weeks and would be driving stock for a couple of months (I'll have to do some side work to pay for my future need for speed). They reccomended the ss4000. They also reccomended a retune for shift points, max rpm, and a tranny cooler. Yank said several customers run this converter with 3.23's like I will be doing during the summer before my listed winter changes. I took their advice and ordered it one hour later. Hopefully this helps on your decision, I don't think anyone's advice here is wrong. It just boils down to your goals and money, the hard part for most.

! 
I started with the Vig3600 ,(not great for nitrous)then switched to the SS4000 (Yank)(very good w/nitrous) and finally i have the PT4000 (yank)(stopped spraying car). W/ a torque peak at 4400 ,LS1 engines like a little more stall than some hot rodders are used to.
i've picked up a Vig 3200 for the car and i'll go from there, if this doesn't seem like enough stall after the cam swap then i will go from there with dyno graph. but for a DD i think 3200 will work fine but as stated and from what i see the LS1 looks like it likes the higher stalls.

I talked to someone on the phone at yank on friday about ordering the PT4000 but with just bolt on's he recommended the SS3600 due to the shift extension on the PT4000. But i plan on doing a cam swap later this year. Everyone i have talked to with a stall said go big the first time and not have to worry about getting a bigger stall. Due you think I should just go ahead with the PT4000?

What about the SS4000, how is the shift extension on it?
