Go with the 3600. If you go too small you will regret it.

the difference between a 3200 and a 3600 will be very close at part throttle and noticeable at WOT. Might as well go with the bigger of the 2.

Future plans with the car in terms of mods?
Do you race the car? If so often and are track times important to you?

I use to DD my car with the Yank SS3600. Excellent stall but an SS3200 would be the better of the two for DD duty. If you plan to stick a healthy cam in there and/or you race the car often and want maximum track benefits then I would go the SS3600. My car was always a street/strip car so the 3600 was just right but if it were 100% street definitely the 3200. If you call Yank they could make you an SS3400 you know...

^ Good advice. Since you're going Yank , call and talk to Dave tell him what your plans are & he can help.

Between the two you listed the 3600 without a doubt. I had the Yank SS3600 in my old A4 Z28..Great driveability and it pulled like a mother out the hole.

Since you plan on throwing a blower on, I would do some research on what works best with that blower. Like your cam and rear gears. I think a converter can be better spec'd out for you.
