Default I want to upgrade my Yank ST3500. Please help.

I'm trying to decide on a new converter. My regular track is only a 1/16 mile. So lets base the converter for that as well. I think I want a PT4400 but I would like some input. I have HAL's on the way and I'm thinking of a Spohn T/A. My ST3500 cuts regular 1.65's, with 3.23's I'm just looking for more.

Thanks.

I've never heard of a 1/16, but if so i'd go really big such as a yank 4400+

1/16 !! are you serious....it's not even worth racing that far.. but if you want a quick 60' then get really tall gears, a really big stall, really sticky tires, and a really good 12 bolt.

Yep the track is really short. We are using the front stretch of a oval track, plus a little bit at each end. It is actually 385 feet. Crappy but it gets me out of the house. We do get over to Mission Raceway once in a while.
Thanks for all the help so far.

Any more input? What about a ss4200 or a PT4200? I do drive on the street some. And we make it to a 1/4 mile twice per year.

Thanks

My times are around the 5.4 to 5.5 second range at 71 mph. The calculation for 1/4 mile ET is multiply by 2.2 This works really well as the last few years we have gone to the 1/4 and everyone from our track runs almost bang on there time using the calculation.
I know it sucks, but it's great practice for lights and 60' set-up.




All times are GMT -5. The time now is 10:44 PM.
