Default Yank Converter Gains

Well i put a yank ss3600 in the car and have nothing but great luck with it. The car runs great, real responsive not to sloppy. Still get some decent mileage and the temps stay pretty cool. I ran the car fro the first time on the converter yesterday, and it was about 90, and humid as hell From my previous best, which was like a 60 degree day and perfect i picked up a whole .4 tenths, and i didnt lose any mph. Went from a 12.8 to a 12.4 and i think it could bust out a 12.3 easy on a cooler day. I was real happy, and the best part of all, she lifted the front left tire Yank got me one bad *** converter.

nikon1999, have you got skinnies on your car? I don't see how it lifted the LF tire with no better 60 ft. than that. I run MT drag radials and pull 1.6 60's and don't even come close to doing that.

you guys "lost/reduced" your times.
I hope you didnt gain time after the converter

I took about .7 off mine without a tune (using DR's of course)
