Default is it worth it

I'm thinking about buying a new converter. I bought mine thinking it was a 3600 but now I don't think it is. I bought it used by the way. I think its about a 2800-3000 I like a big stall. But would it be worth selling it and buying around a 3800 stall. Also if anyone is interested my converter is a PI ill let it go for 270 I paid 350 for it. Thanks

If you want a good 3800ish stall, I really like my Circle-D 3C converter.

Here is a link to their page for the converter

Sometimes they go on sale, so just keep an eye out.

I felt a huge difference going from an ss3200 to a ss3600. Those extra 400 rpm felt good for at least .2-.3 off my 1/8th mile time(Haven't been to a 1/4 mile track yet).

I thought a good way to see how big a converter is to do about a 20 roll and punch it when I do this it will jump up to about 3600 rpms or so I just can't brake stall too high only can brake stall to about 2300 or so rpms
