Driving around there is not a lot of difference between stock and a 3600. However, when you hit the gas with a good stall and gear, it can feel like someone ran into the back of you if it hooks. Mine runs the best from 50-55 mph...it hits sooo hard its addicting..

Not really. The old school converters were like that.

Who made the verter? The tci I had made it run sweet at WOT and driving around town it never dropped more then I think 500 rpms between shifts, but that was in 09 and have been running a stock one sense then, a Yank or Circle D can be made to run how you want it too, loser or tighter.

Yes it will take more throttle then your used to. I had the same feeling with my 4k, you will get used to it. Get ready to use extra gas, cause they're sure easy to lay into when the rpms start climbing!

yea, I go to about 2k-2500 to get up to speed. But I normally take it up to about 3k. Really need to get it tuned for that converter.
