Do I Need A Bigger Stall TC?

Do I Need A Bigger Stall TC?
Hey guys, Ive been reading how some guys have upgraded to a 4000rpm stall from 32-3600stalls and have been very happy with the change. I was wondering if thats what I need. My car is a LS1 with forged pistons and rods, stock crank and a 237/243 112lsa cam. This setup was meant to be fast hi revving which it is...from a dig. I feel that the acceleration suffers a bit from a roll. I have a Yank SS 3600 with 3.42s. Im afraid this might just be me geeting use to the cars speed. The car is slammed to the ground yet get 1.60ft times and run the 1/8th at 7.283sec @ 96.58mph. I have yet to run the 1/4 with the tuning and setup I have done. Would stepping up to a Yank PT4000 make a difference or not enough to justify the price of the new tc plus install?... Also, maybe it wants more gear?

Just going from 1.60 to 1.55 will take you from 7.25 to 7.15.
You can easily have 700+ in a nitrous kit before you know it, mostzly buying used part too. Lol
If all you really care for is all motor.. put a 4400 in, you wont be sorry. You need to get the car hooking though before anything.

Thnx for the advice guys. I thought about it and you guys are right. Idk if all that work to change the tc would be worth while or if it would be enough of a diference to make it worth it. I already have a window switch setup for my water injection that Im sure I could easily hook up a no2 kit to. Any recommendations on an easy setup or system?

I can't believe I'm the first to say it. It's a stalled automatic, of course it is going to do better from a stop than a roll! LOL
My car ran 7.20@ 97mph with 1.601 60' with a cam pretty close to yours with a Fuddle racing 3600 nitrous converter. I got the car to run 6.90's N/A with 1.47-1.49 60' and do you know how?
I'll start by saying I never touched the converter, I bought adjustable drag shocks all the way around and some half decent adjustable suspension parts and tweaked the suspension until I dialed in the 60'. I would highly recommending putting your money into adjustable suspension and especially some good shocks and get the most out of your setup before you go changing things that may not necessarily be the issue.

I would approach the car in this order: maximize suspension setup, lower the gear ratio, then up the converter stall speed. I wouldn't recommend running a 4000+ stall speed with less than a 3.90 gear ratio. The motor will get "up on the converter" and lag there until the wheel speed catches up.

Thats exactly what I was going to say. If you want to do better from a roll then get a tighter stall, or just swap to a six speed. Stalled auto's suck from a roll. If it were me, I would leave the stall and start upgrading your suspension as mentioned above. If your not hooking up now, your damn sure not going to with some nitrous.
