Finally tested the Yank!
After 275 miles I finally had time to test the Yank 2400 I put in my truck. This morning on the way to work I stopped to see what the truck would do if I justed punched it from a dead stop. Before the Yank, my low end wasn't real impressive, I may get a squeek or a little squeel with 1 second of tire spin. This morning when I punched the gas, the tach shot up to 2400 rpm's and the tires just started to squeel. They kept spinning for a good 4-5 seconds, the burn out must have been 40-50 feet long. I did one 0-60 run after work, don't like to do them in the day, to many homes can see the road. My usual time was a 0-40 of about 3.3-3.4 seconds and 0-60 in about 6.4-6.5 seconds. My times 0-40 and 0-60 were 3.19 & 6.22 seconds respectivly. Yank only claims a .2-.3 second reduction in time, so I'm right there. Cool!

Re: Finally tested the Yank!
Good deal Jim! Couple questions:
1) Do you do any towing?
2) What kinda wheel/tire combo are you running?
I'll probably have to go conservative with a converter too since I tow and have a tight budget to work with.

</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hey Stephen. No, I've never towed with my truck, it has the tow package but I don't own anything that needs towing. Still have the stock wheel and tire size, 255/70R16's. I can see tire spin being a problem now if I launch to hard, need to get better tires. This converter is basically a restalled stock GM converter, it's 300mm and has the same 1.9 STR as the stock converter. It retains all the towing capabilities of the stock GM converter. It's not a huge difference in performance but it does help and I think the STR is a little better than stock. It was $384 delivered, the 2600 was like $670 and the 2800 was like $725.
