I'm kinda debating on swapping out my 3200 for a 4000 converter. I cut 1.74 60' if she dead hooks on DR's. Looking at price of converter vs e.t drop.
Just like some feed back on this.

What transmission you running? And what size(diameter) converter is your 3200? I have seen a few people go from a 3600 to a 4000 and drop .15 and pick up mph.
I think it also depends on your power band..where is your peak power? and how far does it carry power past 6300rpms? IMO a big converter needs a cam that wants to make power to 6500 to keep the truck pulling.
whats your stall footbrake and flash now??? lot of other chassis things to a killer .60 foot... I have ex cabs in the 1.58-1.61 but it takes some pretty decent power
278mm circle d, it's a little on the loose side flashing to 3400 if it dead hooks. Transmission is a performbuilt lvl 2.

Peak power is around 5600rpms
I'd say 2400ish on the brake & 3400 if it dead hooks. Take into fact I'm 4885lb race weight, but I do plan on dropping the hitch & maybe a couple of other thing.Quote:

It also helps take some hit off the transmission by somewhat cushioning the shifts...
Are you doing any towing with the truck? If so then you might not want a bigger converter, if you are just hauling stuff in the bed then my vote is Yank sstb3600 or even the Yank sstb4000
that is a GREAT stall for the buck !!... and your truck is working pretty well... I hit them with 150 shot and they flash in the 4000 range... I have alot of 1.6-1.7 Daily drivers with that 278..... But even his 3600 or 3C models drive good but still flash 3600 soon as you hit the skinny pedal
I won't be pulling anything with it, I've got a hd for that.. From reading most with 3600 say they wish they would have went with the 4000..Quote:

I'm running the 3600 3c and with the setup in my sig with 150 shot I cut a 1.64 60' but that is in a rcsb. Still stock 5.3 with just boltons, gears, homemade traction bars and right at 4000 lb race weight without me in it
