I'm looking at a PTC 3600 since they are local(1.5 hours away). I won't go with a cheap one. My alternate is a Yank SS3600 or Vig.

I'm not crazy about having to get drag radials though due to low treadwear and more wear and tear on drivetrain. Would some 315's on 11" wheels help enough to make a difference?

The Yankss3600 worked great for my car. Better than the 4k I have now.

Good to hear that. I Called PTC today and talked to Tim. I have to decide if I am going to install it myself.. I've replaced a clutch in a Mazda truck before. I guess this would just be a little bigger and heavier.

i recommend a shift kit,trans cooler and deeper pan for added cooling along with a tune.

Just make sure you hear the right amount of clicks and shim it properly.
I too was worried about not liking a higher stall so I bought a used rev max that didn't set me back too much but I still wish I would have went with a better brand instead but I still love the way it feels and drives I am just more limited on my future upgrades. A 3600 stall really doesn't take long to get used to and is a freaking blast to drive when that right foot goes down.
Before you buy headers ride in a stalled car seriously.
