SS4000, there is very little difference in the way both drive but the 4000 will match your cam powerband better (shift extensions)

I agree with everyone in here, for that cam the 4000 will work the best.

PT4000 if you are not spraying, I went from a SS3600 (Full Bolt On) to the PT4000 when I installed the G5x2 and couldn't be happier.

i really would like to a vid or race with cars with the same mods and those 2 stalls run.

Ive thought about stepping up to a 4k stall, but ill just see myself overpowering on the street. Detoxx has a 228 cam and a ss3600 and his **** rolls out hard.

That is the key. In which case, the 4K wouldn't be the best. That is a LOOSE converter, and your gas mileage will suck beyond all belief. I'd do a 3600 if you're driving it on the street. I've pulled out a bunch of 4K stalls because guys got tired of driving the car and going to the gas station every 2 days.

If it's for the track, then of course the 4K would be the way to go.

Stalls do change your gas mileage by ignorant proportions. I just honestly dont give a ****

As much as people say 4k stall all the way, ive noticed some people running small stalls still for all out drag cars..

There was a guy with a bad *** red SS with a MTI 427 with a yank 2800 stall running 10's..

Ive also seen some 347 with 235/240 duration cams running 3200 stall running 10's and 9's. I have been thinking of stepping up from a 3200 to a 4k. Not that im worried about gas mileage, but i look at it as far as all around performance.
