Q for Patrick G: Converter-God:
Whats your opinion on the best converter for a street/strip (daily driver), 6500rpm cam-only auto with 3.23's, Hoosier slicks, and maybe some N2O in the future.
TP4400?
TPE4000?
PYE3600?
Looseness doesnt bother me unless im spinning to 4000rpm off every light.
Thanks.

Re: Q for Patrick G: Ryan,
The TP4400 is the best without a doubt in you want to go the fastest. I'm still very partial to the Yank ST3500 and Vig 3200 for daily drivers that see strip duty. Can't go wrong with either although I prefer the high efficiency of the Yank.
I drove the TP4400 in my '98 Z-28 for a year as a daily driver. It was pretty loose and not near as sweet as my ST3500 in stop and go traffic, but at the track, it's unmatched...we're talking a solid tenth better than the ST3500 in 60' times alone. <img src="images/icons/shocked.gif" border="0">
Just be carefull with your shift points when running the gas. It's real easy to bang the rev limiter with a loose converter like the Pro Thruster.
