I'll be doing the converter, probably going to have Zippy put in the servos and boost valve.

I just dont want to pay 675 for a converter than sell it on here for 350 when i dont liek it.

You think the ss3200 is my best choice though? What about the tt3200?

The ST3200 has an str of 2.7. I would be considered tight in comparison to the SS3200. Think of it this way, the closer to 2.0, the better for street tires. When you get to 2.5+, you are looking at slick based tires for traction. The higher the STR, the harder/quicker the hit to the tires. However, the STR multiplcation will run out quicker, acheiving a 1:1 ratio sooner.

Theoretically, a higher str will cut a better 60', traction provided. However, the lower str will be more effecient with applying the power over the entire rpm range.

Thats another thing Im kind of worried about is it just making smoke and going no where with a big stall.
yea... i can get it to flash to 4000 if im towing a trailer and can get traction... its fun..
but most of the time i cant get traction...
