I agree with what he said. My UMI weld-in SFCs work great.

As far as a converter, that will sort of depend on what you think you can deal with as far as the car being a DD.

I have a 3400 stall and 3.73 gears. Mine works fine for me. I drive it in Atlanta stop and go traffic every day and its fine for me. I think I actually could have gone a little bigger and still been fine with my setup. Some other people may be a little annoyed with stop and go traffic and a stall of this size after a while.

I really think its all about personal preference IMO. A 3200-3600 stall for ME is fine for a daily driver.

Just did what your planning...BMR SFC weld ins and Fuddle 3,600 stall converter. SFC are a must no matter what you plan on doing. Dont forget a trans cooler, well worth the money.

Depends on who makes them and what kind you're getting. Tubular, boxed, bolt in weld in etc.

Get the Kenny Brown Double Diamond Sub-Frame Connectors!

When I ordered my WS.6....I went online and bought the Sub Frames before my car even got delivered! As soon as my car got into my hands, I went to have the sub-frames installed...and it was the best thing I ever did. 80,000 miles later....my T-Tops havent leaked one bit! and my car handles like its on rails. Just make sure you take it to a welding place that knows what there doing!
