Default Swapping out PT-4400 for ?

I currently have a PT-4400 in my FLP trans and it just does not seem to be all that I thought it was. I also need to get something smaller for nitrous runs now as this thing flashes at like 5000rpm on a 125hp dry kit. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

My setup includes:
Stock block
GTP S2+ heads
223/.589/112 cam
LS6 intake
3.73 gears
FLP LTs
100-150HP NX Gemini nitrous kit.

I am looking at either the:
SS4000E
SS3800
PT-4000


OR

Any Vig TC that is similar to the ones mentioned above.

I would prefer something a lil easier on the street than the 4400 I have now if possible but it is not a requirment. My ultimate goal is N/A ET's and N20 as secondary but still decent. Will any of these above mentioned converters still hit hard off the line like my PT-4400 or am I gonna just have to comprimise? I feel it may be a silly question but with the new SS converters I was hoping to retain the hard hit off the line and still have decent efficiency with the nitrous.

Ohh and if it makes any difference I have owned:

Y3000
ST3800

and driven a ton of ST3500s

I mateched my best 60' with the PT-4400 with my ST-3800 and the 3800 was near perfect drivability.

The SS3800 will do fine with a 125 shot

Thx <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I talked with Mike today and he said he can restall my PT-4400 to a PT-3800 and that would work best for my setup.

Yeah, driving in traffic will be fun again! Well, as fun as that can be LOL

My TCI 4400 isn't bad at all in traffic but I do have 3.73 gears as well...

I didnt used to think my 4400 was tht bad either but I think I am just tired of tring to drive a drag car around town (did it for 4 years with my Mustang also). I talked with Mike and he is goign to turn my PT-4400 into a PT-3800 which will work good for N/A and great on the bottle and if is anything like my ST-3800 will barely be noticable.
