SS4000 owners come on in
I've gotten caught in some hard rain with my PT4000 and my only worries were my nearly worn out drag radials and my **** poor wipers. If you don't put the pedal down it's not gonna do anything stupid. If you do go WOT in the rain at any speed, you better hold on (and have good insurance).

How does it drive if you get caught in the rain, just have to use your head with it? Thats my only concern is if I were to drive the car with that big of a stall and get caught in a storm. But I guess if you are smart about how you drive it shouldn't be an issue.

WOW, seems like forever that I started this thread. I finally got this converter installed. Not pushing it hard off the line or with any kind of sticky tires right now but man the shift extension is awesome.......

I don't own the car anymore, but this is from a dig with an ss3800.

I always thought my SS4000 could use some more gear behind it (still have stock 3.23s), but it never bothered me enough to actually upgrade and overall I really like the converter. I drive my Z28 everywhere, and in almost every kind of weather. Only thing I had to do was change exhausts (got an SLP dual/dual) because the high RPMs/loud exhaust got really annoying.
When I had 2.73s I had a Yank ST2800 and it felt almost like stock; now that I have 3.42s (and back on the stock stall) I'm considering going with the Yank SS3600 or SS4000. I'd really like to drop about 5 tenths from my 1/4 ET if possible.
