sorry but good luck with their lock up on bigher hp/tq guys , they use a stock sized lock up and cost me alot of money . in turn blew my trans (failed lock up , not at wot but kess than 60 tps and it locked under a few psi and trans over heated , balloned converter enough to make it swell and push my crank forward enough to eat the main thrust bearing) i swapped to a converter with a much better/larger lock up , i have locked at wot many times and is running stronger than ever. imo.
although im sure they can work on mild hp motors , i would never lock it up and expect good. after i tried telling yank what happened and sending a file of my tune for them to inspect i still had to pay for them to rebuild my yank to salvage what i had invested. in short they told me i was doing wot lock ups and it caused it to fail , i didnt and i know it . swap to a convterter they dare you to break under any circumstance, that is what i needed.
my 2 dollars.

I have a yank and I'm pleased. I do understand what everyone is saying but for us low hp guys I think it's a great converter. The next one I get will be there newer multidisk.

Yank has had an issue with their single discs burning up, I can verify that. And certainly not only under WOT lockup. My yank lockup failing last year caused a cascade of new transmissions...had that lockup not fried, my trans still would have been fine. And it never saw WOT lockup. DrX has also had this issue of a yank clutch failing under normal usage. From what I hear, it sounds like that issue has been fixed with their multi-disc, though.

I dunno how yalls tunes are setup but id advise you guys to get it to only lock under part throttle.. mine doesnt lock up till i get under 25% throttle so i can get up to speed and let out of the gas some till it locks then roll back in it so its not stressing the clutch.
