You can expect to fry the tires and get outta the hole a lot faster. You can also expect a big smile on your face afterwards. I would get the biggest cooler you can fit too.

The ss3600 works great from a roll. When driving normal it will slip a little but drive mostly like stock. When you go WOT it will flash to around 3600 rpms. It helped me more from a roll because from a stop I got no traction. You might as well look into some good tires to.

Yes you will want some Drag radials with that converter. My SS4000 drives almost like stock unless I am on a hill or incline. I also had a cheap 3200 rpm stall fuddle converter that was so loose you would think it was a 5000 stall. If you get a converter make sure it is a nice quality one.

Give the U-joints a once over if you go with the stall and DR's, it may save you a long walk home. LOL
