I'd only spend my money on a Yank or a PI Vig...

I run a Yank SS3600 myself and its a great converter especially if you still want some decent flash stall speed and DD ability...

what would you say about the ST3500 (yank) i was readin up and its better for 5k+ rpm, and, its shift range or sumshit is a few hundred rpm more, making it better for big cam/gear cars then the ss3600. Since you have one, i dont think you would mind reading there little blurb on the difference.

( just what they say about the tywo converters in the beginning)

If your going to do a BIG cam, then i'd go with no less than a 4000 Stall. I had a TCI 3500, with a basicly stock car, and it ran great. My car is a DD and i had no issues at all. If i knew then, what i know now, i would have gone larger.
