Yank's SS series is great for the street, a lot of testimonials claim that "you don't know it's there until you floor it." They also only effect gas mileage very slightly. A stall would be a great idea for any cammed automatic car. A lot of people go with Yank SS3600's for the street, seems to be working well for many. That's what I'll be going with when I do mine.
No it will take off like slipping a clutch in a stick car. The number is how many it's supposed to flash to at wot. It will take more rpms to get going than stock but with a nice yank, edge, circle d, or vig it won't be that bad. Stay around 3600 if you want to be fast. But then you'll definitly need tires and pray for your rearend.
My Bolton car got no traction under 20mph with a yank 3600.

a converter is basically a fluid coupling between your engine and transmission.........depending on the angle of the fins and other variables within the converter the fluid lock will occour at different engine speeds.......for instance my 5000 stall achieves coupling around 6200 if i just mash it from a low roll in 3rd gear....this is your "flash" point...however in theory if i had a transbrake i should be able to get the motor to 5000 from a dead stop before the car tries to move........basically a 3600 should stall and flash 600 higher than a 3000. IIRC my old 3600 used to flash to around 4200......for a cammed auto like yours id say go with the 3600 yank or vigilante......
