the time has come to buy a converter...looking at both these converters for my 2000 camaro, its a full bolt on -ud pully car, stock 3.23 gears...might have a cam in it sometime or another but right now its SI....give me some feedback everyone ! not a daily driver just a weekend warrior. (im also haveing a buddy beef up my transmission...the good sprag, superservo, beastshell, z-pac, ect.ect.ect.) just for piece of mind so i dont have to worry about it breaking.

Dont know about the ss4000 but i run an ss3600 and love it, im not cammed but will be spraying shortly, do a search and read some of the reviews on it, i have 323 gears as well and to me its a nice combo and should get me somewhere in the 11's with full bolt ons and a 150 shot. im still running mine untuned with no problems, driveabilty is great, this is my first stalled auto car and i love it,

I have ran both, ss4000 hit harder off the line but the pt4400 seems to pull better up top.

I can only speak for the SS4000 but if it were me and I had no intention of spraying my car why not go for the PT series?

Why not just go with the PT4000.

That's what I was thinking.

I've had an SS3600 and a PT4000. On the street the SS converters are tighter and alot more fun but on the track the PT's reign.

The only SS4000 I've driven feels just about the same as my PT4000 with similar mods.

im not worried about anything except winning races at the local quartermile bridge, and occasionally going to the track with this car....and i really dont know the differenct between the SS and PT series i just know the ss hits the tires a little harder...but would a PT4400 be to loose for a cammed car because dave at yank told me the pt might be a little loose for a cammed car...i dont really know anything about either except they perform extrodernary lol..

so which one would you prefer >?

For that aspect, I'd definitely go for that PT4000. From the logs and timeslpis I have of my PT4000 and my buddies SS4000. The SS has more launch RPM and seems to leave harder. That would also mean that it would be harder to hook on the street and the PT has the better top end pull and more shift extension. But those difference are small between the two. You could drive both cars and you wouldn't likely know which was which if I didn't tell you.

I don't know about the PT4400, but depending on the size of the cam it may really like the extra few hundred RPMs of the 4400.

I bought a ss400 and my car drives almost exactly like Joncr96z's but his is faster at the track . I have ls6 heads and he don't.

Well you're heavier and you still 60' better.

I am fat, but you are still faster.

ive got the pt4400 and its a cam only car and i think it hits the tires quiet hard imo.....

00blacka4

iTrader: (7)

so what are the difference between the PT4000 and SS4000, is one better for cam or SI or are they almost the same....and if the PT4000 has better shift extension why are so many people running the SS4000....im having a hard time choosing is difficult ! and as far as hooking on the street the local bridge hooks as good as the track i guess because its a kinda textured concrete, i could put skinnies on the back of my car and still hook up lol like i said, i want to win races and thats it

00blacka4

iTrader: (7)

yeah it does still hit the tires hard but the PT4400 has a 2.5 str i think and the SS4000 has a 2.6 str. so it is a little harder but not much....whats ur best time with ur PT4400 ms4 ? also do you think the PT4400 is to big for a SI car ?

00blacka4

iTrader: (7)

i also cant stress enough i just want to win lol ! its not a daily driver, i dont care how high it revs or how loud it is im in it to win it haha. maybe i should get the big daddy 4400 ? but iv read in several searchs that the ss4000 is more for the street crowd or a daily driver...and the PT series is more for the racer in mind....still wanting to hear some opinions

i havent took it to the track yet still finishing up a couple of things but even just driving it on the street it really doesnt feel like a 4400, its very tight down low but when you hit it, it hits hard.

JonCR96Z

iTrader: (33)

From my experience they are so close to each other it's not funny. Maybe if you had a more radical setup they would differ more? As far as why most people go with the SS over the PT, well they're cheaper for one and everyone thinks that they are so much tighter than the PT so they want the better driving converter.

You have 4.10 gears. That effects everything about the way the stall feels. It will hit harder and drive better with more gear.

For your setup i would say the PT4000 if your keeping your 3.23s it will give you a better shift extension then the ss4000, and if you hook i think you will out run the ss4000.

I think with the 4400 would be best if you at least had heads/cam and more gear some 28s basically a N/A setup.
