Ditto.. I am thinking about going with a 3800 Hard hit next summer along with an upgraded flexplate. I just need to see if the torque converter is locking up or not in the higher gears... then it'll really launch like a rocket with the new stall

Not a bad investment at all... today's best was a 13.4@102mph, but that was right off the highway, an hour away from the city and into the boonies. I didn't get a chance to cool down so I just ran it a few times since it was still only 52 degrees outside.
Later on in the day, when I am usually at my wits end and running at 14.2/14.3's@100mph, I was very consistent at 13.5/13.6, which is still a fat 0.7/0.8 drop in my ET with just a converter swap! Not exactly 12.8's like last year, but this converter is much more street friendly over the 3500 I had, just does not flash as hard or quickly but still leaves very hard. Most of it has to do with the weight differences between the 09 and the 13.. about 300lbs. or so give or take...
