well go to search button and read, alot of epople have liked their yanks and also alot of epople have had alot of problems with them and the company not covering them under warranty. I would also check out vigilante they make some bad *** converters. I am sure you will get a few responses on here.

besides NOS, i think a TC is more gain on ET's for the $$$. i have a 3000 yank, and i gained about .4 sec on a 1/4. traction is an issue with that size stall. i still have stock tires and suspension. obviously, better tires and suspension will helpl get traction. i had the TC before and after the Eaton Posi. what a difference the posi makes. it is a must with the TC.

Yank TT3000 is the ****! Like Keukaz71 said, expect to knock about 4-5 tenths off of your ET. Traction is a definate problem, even if you can't turn a tire now. Once you get used to driving it and launching it tho, it's really not SO bad. A posi is a definate with a converter, and a better set of tires (not necessarily drag tires) is also helpful. WELL WORTH IT! Also, for what it's worth, I've heard Yank is under new management and so far I think things are really improving as far as customer service goes. Check the transmission section for more on that.
