Another which converter to get post...
Find someone that has a bigger converter in their car and go for a ride. I was really hesitant to go with a ss4000 since it is my dd, but its very tolerable. Hell I plan on going to a pt4000 next time my car is down for a while.
I recently got a ss3600 for my bolt on car. It seems like it is going to work out well but I almost wish I would have got a larger one "It is very very tight". Overall I think yank is a great choice.

Might he be better off with the SS converter for DD use? I don't have much experience with performance converters but Yank recommended the SS 4000 for my HC car that I use weekends. If I DD'd the car the recommendation would have been more likely the SS3200 or 3600.
Normally I would suggest the SS4000, but he mentioned roll racing, and I can't help but throw the PT out there....Can't touch it for roll racing!!
In all honesty, the PT4400 is obviously looser than the SS4000, but it wasn't a huge difference and after a few drives, I much prefer the PT in every way over my old SS4000 (I do DD my car BTW). I know I always throw the PT out there, but the PT is so much more converter than either the SS or ST series IMO. If your plans don't include spray, the PT's should be at the top of your list for consideration. 
Another option is the PT3800....which does well on spray!
I ran the Yank PT4000 for a couple years with no problems. It's a good street/strip converter because of the low STR, but keep in mind it's a very loose converter compared to the SS series. I switched to the Circle D 5C a couple of months ago and I love this converter.

I am continually amazed at all of the people who recommend a 4000 converter for a DD. I had a 3000 TCI in a stock 98 Z and it was a PITA to drive in stop and go traffic in Tampa. I now have a VIG 3000 in a stock (headers only) 02 Z and love it. This car is my DD. I drove a VIG 3600 car and thought that it would be the max for me for a DD. I would suggest that you drive a 3600 - 4000 stall car and see for yourself. I do know that a good converter is the best investment for an A4 car. PM me for my phone number if you want to discuss more.

Never having experienced the Circle D units, how's the topend on yours compare to the PT4000? I'm curious because that was the one thing that impressed me more than anything about the PT4400.
Convertor Call Marty At Neil Chance Converters- They are the best. had a vig and yank, both performed but nothing like the chance converter. Cost is more but worth it i think.

Did you have 2.73 gears? I thought my TCI 3000 felt quite tight driving in town - but I have 3.42's. My current Yank SS3600 feels just about the same, though.
