Default Difference between tp4400 and 4600

I ordered mine with a 4600 stall.What are the differences between the two.Should I get mine restalled to a 4000.I figured it was better to get the bigger stall for better times.But I dont go to the track often I street race a lot.Should I have gotten the lower stall for less torque multiplaction.Also does the higher stall make the converter less efficent up top?Thanx

4600 is a crap load of stall for basically a street car and on the edge of much stall for a stock motor.

Do you street race (with ET streets, 1/4 mile marked, money on the line, etc.) or stoplight race (nittos aired to at least 24 lbs and basically run anything that revs on you)? A YTP 4400 is fine for street racing. For stoplight racing a SY 4000 or YTP 4000 would make more sense.

Not sure that BFGs will hold the 4600 converter, even the 315s. I'd probably go with a YTP 4200 to gain a bit more top end efficency since I don't think you can use 100% of a YTP 4600's bottom end capability (unless you have 2.73 gears).

Good luck in your choice.

You will need to learn how to pedal it with DR and a TP-4600. I suggest you look into a set of ET Streets. The TP's are AWESOME from a roll.

I have a UT-4600 (more STR), I run 315 DR (Nitto) as my streets tire, but I do not do any "street racing" other than the chance meetings <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> . The Nitto's do a great job at holding the car.. but most of that is knowing how much power I can apply.

So what your saying is that if I lower my stall to 4000 it will be more effiecent up top.I know it will be impossible to use the bottom end on the street because I also have 3.73s out back.But I like top end better than the bottom end on the street because you cant use bottom end on the street unless you have some et drags or streets on.
