Big thanks to TCI and Kevin Winstead!
Well I finally made it out to the track with my TCI prepped Yank PT4000 converter and I was very pleased to run the following. The DA was ~+1800 and the race weight was ~3520.
60’----1.57
1/8-----7.23
MPH---94.52
¼------11.38
MPH—118.11
The new name for the converter is “TCI-SSF-PT4000”.
The Yank PT4xxx best before I had TCI fix it was 11.18 @ 120.24 on a 1.54 60’. The DA was -968 and the race weight was 3350.
If the weather conditions and race weight were the same I am sure I would have gone quicker than 11.18.
I can not say enough about the quality of the converter and the service I received from TCI and Kevin Winstead. The welds on the converter are perfect as well as the balance of the converter. With the Yank there was a vibration starting at 2200 rpm and the welds were sloppy.
Overall I am very happy with my decision to have TCI fix my Yank PT4000 that was still under the Yank “warranty”. The converter performance, streetability, and the TCI customer service have been outstanding. I will defiantly do business with TCI again.

TCI uses a different style lockup clutch than Yank (Yank uses a Ford type I think) and it had to send it out to be relined. I my case it took TCI about 3 weeks because of the clutch hold up.
You can reach Kevin at 662-224-9355 or email him at Kevin@tciauto.com.
