I've been thinking about the yank converter but thats so much work for only little gains
i think a TC would be one of the best bangs for the buck, besides NOS. you can easily knock off .4-.5 off your ET. i highly recommend a TC. after driving around with the yank3000, i got used to it quick, and wish i got a higher stall, but i still need to tow my boat. traction is an issue. definitely need posi. at stops, i launch mostly at 1/4-1/2 throttle and the acceleration is unreal. i have only launched twice at WOT, but that was in 4wd. i am still waiting for my eaton to be installed. i am just putting it off. i am yet to g-tech my stall. my numbers before the stall was around 15.625, but that was at 30*. so if i run it now with the g-tech, my #'s probably will not be where i want them to. i am hoping to be around 15.2-15.3 at the same temp. what does anybody else think i should be at with the yank? we can take bets. well, not real bets, but just post a # and maybe i can let you know who is closest

an HD weighs that much , my 2500 only weight 5660...that's with a full tank of gas, spare tire, full interior, and 5th wheel hitch !

as for the Yank 2600....I haven't gotten one yet but it is my next purchase in the fall..
i second that question, GM lists the HD at 300lbs more that the reg 2500, i can live with ~6000lbs, but not 6500lb's , i hope you have a crew cab with a bunch of stuff bolted on there.

If I remember correctly, mine weighed in around 6000 lbs. That's x-cab, 4x4, aftermarket wheels/tires, etc. Stock, if I remember correctly, the best it ran was a 16.5 at 85 or 86 mph. With the bolt on's, I dropped that down to 15.73 at 88.9 mph. I haven't run it since adding the Arizona Speed and Marine headers though.

I would like to try the Yank 2600HD thruster converter, but I'm a little soured with them. I actually was going to put one in a year ago, and I was dealing directly with Yank. I tried ordering it in August, prior to a truck pull. Mike (Yank) kept telling me to check back with them, as they were waiting on one little part for them. That was back when there was a special on them and I could've gotten one for approx. $560. I kept checking back with them, and it was the same story every time, even three months later. I finally left it with them that they were going to call me when they got the parts they needed. I never did get a call from them. When I noticed that they had raised the price to $895, I contacted them, and explained my situation, but they could've cared less. So, while I would like to try one of their converters, I'm hesitant to spend $895 for what I should have been able to get for $560.

way I look at it your only gonna buy a converter once so if its a $500 dollar difference that won't mean anything years later after you have run the truck thousands of times. Like the AZSM headers for $750 bucks yeah they are cool but you probley could have bought the flanges tubing 02 bung for next to nothing. The point of business is to charge the highest rate possible without loosing your captive audience. Which I think is dumb but what do I know about business.
