Default Any reason why I shouldn't use Yank 3600?

I just bought a 3.73 gear, and seriously thinking about going with the Yank 3600 in my 99 DD. I want blistering acceleration and I'm concerned about driveability. Would this much stall have a negative impact? Talk to me Goose. LOL
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Yank said the shorter the gear, the tighter the feel of the converter.

TIA,
Malcolm

No reason I can think of. I run a Yank 3500 in mine.

I ran a YANK PROTHRUSTER 4000 with 3.73 gears in my old h/c 98 Roadster and it simply kicked azz and took no prisoners!!

My "little" Yank SS3200 with 2.73 gears is worth more than half a second at the track. Works perfect as my DD too.

Depends on what driveability means. You'll likely be plenty happy with throttle response and that's often what people mean when they say driveability. Your biggest issue will be traction when you put your foot in it.

Why would you say that? Far from more than enough, more like perfect. An SS3600 will drive like stock and hit like no tomorrow. My friends just got rid of his and went with a 4200, it still drives like stock and driven every day.

Great converter for the street and track, including a DD.

I've got 3.73's and the SS3200 stall - I debated between the SS3200 and the SS3600 stall, but mine is a daily driver so I went w/ the SS33200 - you can't notice it at all - to do it over, yeah, I'd probably go w/ a SS3600 - I don't think you will notice the 3600 at all
