I agree, if you want to go big find someone who has one and see how you like it

I know my motor isnt a LSx motor and I have a lot more cubes but.. I also have a 4500 converter. I can tell you that drivability does change a bit from the little I have been able to drive mine. You can tell down low(below like 2500) the car has no sack(like batman said). You really need to get that converter speed up to get the TQ multiplication.
Honestly though the car didnt drive too bad, taking off from a stop wasnt that bad but for something daily driven or driven heavily in the summer, I would probably go with something like the SS3600. Just my .02

the drivability is going to be much better with the 3.0 due to the higher torque multiplication however its going to be less efficient at getting the power to the ground at higher rpms compared to the 2.0 and fwiw there isnt a converter yank advertises thats going to stall above 4000rpm behind a stock head/cam ls. the PT converters advertised as head/cam converters, they will stall 400rpm lower behind a stock head/cam motor. PT4000 = 3600 PT4400 = 4000 the PTs have a lower STR but are more efficient on the top end. its important to match your gears/tiresize and converter together. i think alot of the reason people bitch about big converters is because they put 3600+ converters in cars with 2.73s, 3.23s and 3.42s, more load = more work. if your going to run those gears go with an SS converter, youll need the extra torque multiplication your loosing with the stock gears.

if you know what your looking at you can get a pretty good idea of what to expect just from watching. rpm extension, flash, etc.

Thats good info right there. At first I was pretty much set on a ss3600 but I really wanted a converter that would pull like a sob up top as well. Thats why I was thingking PT4000. But the decision is tough cause its mostly a street car. I wanna be able to mess around with other cars stop light to stop light. From all the research Iv done iv learned you cant have the best of both worlds in a converter.
