If you want to go fast, the convertor is the last place you want to not go wild. These motors make their power up top, so a loose stall helps them get out of the hole hard and into the powerband ASAP. I would not go any smaller than a 3600 IMO. If my car was auto, it would have a 4000 in it right now.

I have a Yank SS3600 and I am very happy with the overall product. The converter is somewhere where I would not try to buy the cheaper one, I would only buy the best. Many people run Yank, Circle D, Vigilante converters in their cars. All are great converters.
