K..Im gonna run a cam...and I got all the other support bolt ons and tranny work on a 5.3L with a 4l60e...headers, fullpipes, shift kit, servos' ,cooler, dyno tuned etc

I was lookign at the TCI converters and the Yank converters. I want to run somethign around 2600-2800...do you guys recommend the Yank 2600....is it a good converter? I am a TCI dealer..but he said the Breakaway TCI lock up is only 2400-2600 stall....and Iv heard alot of negative things about the TCI's...what do you gusy think

 

i also have heard alot of negative things about TCI and many positive about Yank, but no personal experience. Do a search, there is TONS of information out there.

 

most everyone will tell to go with either a Precision Industries converter or a Yank... the best two out there IMO... STAY AWAY FROM TCI!!!!!

a 2800-3000 stall speed should do you well judging by the other threads you've put up on the topic.

 

alrighty...Yah i cna get TCI at cost..but if its gonna be cvrap..then it aitn worth it...

Can someone tell me the difference between the yank sc300 and the Truck thruster 3000rpm stall.

3000rpm jsut sounds like a huge stall...what about the yank 2600..is that a good piece?

whats the difference betwwen 2.10 and 2.21 str? what is that?

 

also..how many disk should you get 1, 3 or 5...what is the advantages...what is everyoen running on there trucks?

 

Yank and Vig are the two most pop choices. Vig are costly but I have never heard a complaint. Yank is what I run and they offer affordable converters as well as the more pricey billet ones.

I suggest you think about how far you might go with your truck. I'm on my 3rd. converter because I didnt think I would take my truck this direction (i knew).

I have the SC2800
The difference between the TT and the SC is about $400. The SC is billet and is designed to take the abuse from a SuperCharger. STR is higher on the SC model.

More discs = better more $$
STR = stall torque ratio, the ratio that torque is multiplied to the trans.

 

i heard 1 complaint about the PI-vig but it was poor customer service never about a poor product but expensive

heard good things about PI-vig, yank

i didnt know yank had billet converter, nice to know

 

Right, most compare the Vigs to the Yanks TT line and that's not quite fair in my opinion. The TT line are good affordable converters but Yank does offer converters compareable to the Vigs (like the SC line) in ev$ry way.

 

what would be a better stall converter for a 402 stroker(N/A) a 10.5" 3-disc lock-up or a 9.5" 5-disc lock-up converter

also what makes more discs better?

 

i run a 3200 Vig and like it, i ran a 3600 Vig in my z28 and loved it. No complaints about either one.
