I suspect the torque converter is your biggest loss of power. I'd love to see the claimed spec sheet on it. (PTC doesn't have one listed!)

Most of these companies that build for the drag racing market don't know squat about making a heavy truck move all day long.

I'm running the Hankook RH06's in a 285/50/20. I've sent it back twice and on my 3rd converter. If i didn't have $1300.00 tied up in it then i would just **** can it and buy a yank. But they paid shipping and wanted to get it right. But in the end i wish I had just Yanked it and been done.

I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hijack your thread. I have freinds that run both vig and yank. I wish I had went yank and been done. Yank is a one man operation to. the man you talk to on the phone is the guy that is going to build your converter.

The first time i sent it back it wouldnt stall 2000, the second time it wouldnt stall but 2700. sent it back again and they built me a complete new one. Its the 4000. Haven't gotten to put it in yet, I'm really hoping it helps it.
