Hey yank, I really like your converters on your website the PT's are the only lockup converters?? All the rest are non lock up?? Is this bad?? I had a TH400 in my 98 LS1 powered cam n20 car, and it wasnt to bad...what conv. would you recommend for a trex full bolt on n2o car with some weight reduction..PS i like a tight conv. for street.. like roll racing..

Most of the yank converters for the 4L60e are lock-up.
YPT4000 would be your best bet if the spray is a 100 shot. Great converter for NA racing from a roll. If you're going to push 200 shot, a PYE 3600 would be a good option.
Art Carr has a decent reputation but the only good results I've seen from them in LS1s has been on the very top end performance wise or in a TH400.
Fuddle was a sponsor and ran into some problems and was dropped. The business is trying to make a comeback.

I've got an Art Carr converter in my car and love it. I can creep uphill at idle without throttle input, just like stock. It pulls pretty nice up top too - much more fun to drive than a few other brand 3600-3800 stalls I've driven. I recently had it gone through after a trans failure (see next paragraph) by ATI here in Baltimore. ATI said it was one of the nicest converters they've ever seen...
Just don't get a built 4L60E from Art Carr. Apparently they press on some sleeve over the input drum/shaft, which was the likely culprit in breaking my input drum clean off the shaft

i had an art carr converter and 4l60e but i added that to the list of 5 4l60e's that have busted. ummm basically i thought the converter sucked it was suppose to be a 3800stall and wouldnt footbrake to 2000 i took it out and put in a yank pt4000 and loved it until the tranny broke and a buddy of mine pulled it apart to rebuild it for me and saw that there wherent to many aftermarket parts in it just a few things like cervo and what not. i believe part of my reason was cause i ordered it from art carr in abalene(sp) texas and that was supposibly the art carr that the owner sold to a group of investers and i guess only owns 1 shop left in california so that didnt turn out to well for me. i have had great luck with yank and now i am going with a rossler th350 and an ATI 8" 3800stall converter

I haven't seen one story on here of someone WHO ACTUALLY RAN a fuddle and had it break on them. I have seen many folks who love them!

BTW, it's nice to see fuddle is back on-line (not as a sponsor though) maybe they can give some facts about what has transpired over the past 6 months. Seeing how they're talking about their great customer service on other forums, maybe we @ LS1tech can get some of that too, or at least some explinations?

Fuddle does one thing that Yank/Vig don't, they offer a low priced (alternative) converter to a web based clientel. I guess one of the biggest infuances you should look @ is this. Maybe there's a reaons there aren't any Fuddles in that group?

and there is at least one Fuddle on that list. MNRO hasa Fuddle. And if you really want to see fast - check out SR71 and his Fuddle -- 9.3!
