Anyway to get more power?
My car was a daily and I had Dave make me a SS3800. It wasn't horrible for daily driving, but it was close. It was extremely noticeable and real slippery on light throttle take off, I would imagine your PT is probably a little looser feeling than the SS. And for me, if mine had been any looser feeling I would have hated it. But I also drove a ton, I drove anywhere from 500-800 miles a week with about half of it being city traffic driving.
But I also went from 2.1 ish 60 ft times to 1.6x 60 ft times and it was an absolute blast to drive.

I don't daily my car so it's hard to say if it would bother me. I would say the ss3600 would not have bothered me a bit and my current pt4400 I think may get a little old if I dailyed it.
I rebuild my own transmissions but am far from a expert. At the same time I was switching to a pt4400 I had also just got done with a fresh 4l60e rebuild so if you can imagine during the first drive it was a bit hard to decipher between converter slip and possible transmission issue lol.
In the end all was good and the Pt4400 is a blast for a weekend warrior.
Imo yank definitely nailed it with the ss3600 and it's a very good all around converter and will suit Op perfect.
My Pt4000 was definitely looser than my ss3600 but it was a bit more efficient at wot and had better shift extensions.

I should rephrase, mine didn't bother me, but I'm sure it bothered my neighbors. I had true duals and the street leading out of my neighborhood was a little uphill, so it was impossible for me to keep the car down low in revs while trying to leave the neighborhood quietly.
Also that the amount a converter slips is tolerated differently by some people. Some would not like the amount of slip with the SS3600, but that annoyance is quickly forgotten the second you hammer it
