That all depends on how you "leave" and what gear you have. The higher numerical gear you have, the lower the RPM's you leave at. With my 2.73 gear, it was a little rough, with my 3.42, it is great. Of course a 3.73 or 4.10 would be easier, but I will keep my 3.42 with my 26" tires.
In my experience with all my friends, whoever gets a 3600 stall always wants to go bigger. Those with the 4000 love it and are glad they didn't get the 3600.
ok was just wondering cause i'm goin to do a swap in my car m6 to a4 and was goin to go with 3;73, 4000stall and still be my daily driver and stuff i was just wondering if every1 left at the same rpm's just takin off easy like in town ridin around

Well, you already have a 3.42, so I would say def go with the 4000, you will not be dissapointed, the 3.73 will just make you even more happy.
I was going to take a cruise real quick and record my RPM's while driving, but it just started to rain. I will try and do that when I get a chance then post it up. But, IMO, if your going to spend that much money on a performance mod, go big or go home. Plus it's a lock up, so when you drive over 45 (or whatever you set it to) it's going to drive like a stock converter.
I have owned a Yank SS3600 and a Yank PT4000. I use to DD with the Yank SS3600 and I liked it alot because it was so tight. The PT4000 I really wouldn't want to DD with, too loose and the car is so damn loud with it. I wanted track times so that's why the switch.
^^ I have a friend with a boltons LS1 TA with the SS3600, I had a boltons LS1 camaro at the time with a PT4000. Shortly after installing the 3600 he wished he would have gone with a 4000, and plans to when the trans takes a dump.
The SS series is much tighter on the bottom end, while losing some trap speed. The opposite is true for the PT. A friend of mine was going 1.60 60fts with only a tune, !cats, lid, and cutout on an SS4000. My car was going 1.69s on the PT4000 with boltons and a little more conservative tune... but my trap speed was also several mph faster.
I personally like the PT series much more than the SS. It's much friendlier on the street with the slightly softer launches (not as much tire spin) and you get a better top end.
In my friends boltons SS3600 car you can barely tell it has a stall untill you're wide open, I like the "loose" feeling of a bigger stall

the difference is going to be in how loose the converter is for dd matters, a tighter 4000 would be fine imo...i have a custom built 3800 that feels way smaller then my loose ass old fuddle 3600 was because its tighter....

i went with yank and love it... fti, yank, circle d, all great companies.. you wont regret buying from anyone of them
We have our 4C that is very popular for a DD Race Car. It will stall about 3800 in your setup. It comes with our guaranteed smile on WOT. Billet front and all the goodies inside of course.
Chris
the 4c is a badass stall

This thread was exactly what I needed . I was going to order a 3600 stall ,But after reading this .I think Im doing a 4000 stall . A lot of people think its way to much for my nearly stock Z. But it seems to produce some serious 60 ft times .
Well I'm set on getting a 4k stall, but are you guys mostly on stock trannys or did you do a built tranny and stall at same time. I can afford the stall but not both at the same time. Would I be fine with a stall and a tranny cooler on a 48k mile tranny? Don't want to buy one and then have to replace the transmission a year later.

i have 50 on my tranny and my ss4000 for 6k miles no problems yet.. just get a good cooler and you should be fine for a while.. but probably plan on getting a built tranny in the future..
I have 108K on my Transmission. Had my ss4000 for about 8K miles 2 1/2 years. I cut 1.58 60fts on a 75 shot of nitrous (11.79), 1.62's on motor and run (12.33). Change the fluid every 2K miles (I don't daily drive this so it's bout 1-2 times a year - fluid is cheap preventative maintenence). Change the filter every other fluid change. I have the big B&M cooler.
