Which Stall? Finishing up my nitrous outlet setup, hoping to spray 150 roughly, on 4.10 gears in a full Bolton A4. My question is what size stall do you guys think would do best. The car is strictly a toy and not a daily driver (that's what I have my civic Si for!). I know I definitely want to go with YANK and their SS series but I am torn between the 3600 and 4000 stall. I have read that the 4000 stall may be a bit too much for my stock cam, but I have also seen some guys say that they wish they went bigger. After spraying the snot out of it this year I do plan to go with a cc503 and supportive valve train next summer. So what do you guys think?
I would call Dave at Yank and he will provide a suitable recommendation to you.
Now, between those two options I would go SS3600. The SS4000 has a very high shift extension. When you factor in the rpm's you will be turning both pre and post cam, there flat out cannot be enough wiggle room for a 150 shot IMO. You would just more than likely blow through the converter. If you were staying N/A and wanted the most performance possible I would then say SS4000 over the SS3600.
Yes, you will see guys always wishing they went bigger with the stall but don't kid yourself a 3600 is no slouch. That's a large converter for a stock car and would be awesome with the cc503 you mentioned. I ran that exact combo myself, was going to spray a 150 shot through it but decided on adding heads and a PT4000 instead.

The problem about picking a stall for a mild motor is that if you do any real mods it will need to be restalled.
If you stick to a nitrous but change the heads and cam, you will most likely need to tighten it since the extra power will make the stall act bigger. If you go NA, you will need to loosen it a lot or even switch to a PT series Yank.

Assuming you'll also be spraying the CC503 setup, I agree with the SS3600 recommendation. No question about it.
It will be quicker bolt-on NA. It will be quicker bolt-on +150. It will be quicker CC503+150. It will be only slightly slower CC503 NA at the strip, but just as quick on the street.
SS4000 will suck driving on the street with the stock cam, and will still be much worse than the SS3600 with CC503 on the street.
