Default Which Yank?

I have decided that Yank is probably the best company for a high stall TC. Thoughts on this? Im thinking the SS3600 or 4000 would be good for me but I would like some input from the guys here who have either. Mods in sig

Ran ST 3500 for 9-10 years, now on SS 4000 very happy with both, call Dave @ Yank and explain your needs and he will build to fit your needs
You will be happy

I have a SS3600 and it is a very tight convertor. That being said I want a SS4000 or a PT4000 because my 3600 is too small for my current cam ( MS3 ).

If you're going to get a cam in the near future I'd try to pick one then pick the right stall for that cam...

I only got my SS3600 because it was cheap. I'd get a 4000 personally

I have the ss3600 in my dd and it's a nice converter. My car just has bolt ons for now and I love it. Personally Iv been thinking about the pt4000 since I still have a free restall.

I agree with the two posts above. 3600 for DD bolt-ons or below, maybe even a small cam. 4000 cammed street/strip, PT series max effort.

I agree with the suggestions above. However, on the PT series subject, when I spoke to Yank he really recommended a 7k shift to maximize the converter. Before selecting a PT series from Yank, I'd call Dave up and talk it over with him.

That's really good info, considering it has been said 4L60e don't like high RPMs especially stock ones.
I'm actually thinking about keeping the SS3600 and swapping the cam out. The more I drive the MS3 the more I don't like it.

I thought that the 3600 would be able to flash past the low end loss of this cam and I wouldn't really notice the lag but I was wrong.
I'd rather have a cam with more power/torque down low instead of a peaky cam.

I've been researching a lot. Something in the TV2/3, F13/14 or the El Torro seems to be a better fit

Yea the SS3600 is a nice tight street converter that does well. I'd recommend it

My SS3600 feels like a stock converter as far as driveability. I was scared it would be too big and loose and take time to get used to. Im a happy camper.

I just installed a SS4000 stall I have a bolt on car and it takes some getting used to but I love it. I'm waiting to get it tuned because I'm adding 373 gears and getting rid of the shitty 273 gears.

I'm sure your 3.73s will feel a whole hell of a lot better than 2.73s. That must be a really loose setup.
