    It would be pissed off at you without a converter...

    You feel it loves a 3200 toss in a 4000+, you will have a **** eating grin that will be hard to wipe off.

    From personal experience, had a truck that felt great with a 3000 or so I thought. Couldn't believe the gains I got from the 3400. Then the 4000 showed me what I was always missing.

    You have a very aggressive cam for a 5.3, it will love a higher stall speed.

    Very true statement. With going 4.88 that 4k stall is probably not going to feel that loose. Probably wait until the 60e goes then go bigger

    4.88's will sure help a converter feel tighter, downside it will tighten up the stall speed of your current converter.

    My friend has a S3 3800 from TCS in his truck and it feels very tight, his gearing is only 4.10's. Honestly it feels almost as tight as my 2600 in my daily. Hoping my TCS S3 4600 will feel tight and efficient on the street.

    Pittman on PT.net had a Yank Pro 3600 that he said daily drove great and felt very tight. Then went to a Yank SS 3600 and its loose as a goose. It all depends on the converter.
