Default Yank vs Edge

Im planning on a 3600 stall and was wondering which of the two would give me the best track time and reliability?

I myself prefer the Yanks. My suggestion would be to give them a call. Vince

"Yank" !!!
Especially when you're looking for durability at the track.
Once you start getting to the 3600, 3800, 4000 Ranges... YANK is the ONLY way to go.
Unsurpassed Quality

Yank it and get off quicker. Call them up, you will be convinced. Great customer service, best quality of converters, and are fantastic to work with.

I did too...three times! Each one performed flawlessly, and all were awesome in every way. In fact, Bene ^^^ has my first Yank, an ST3500, and it's still running strong!!

Yank has the advantage when it comes to GM converters.

I was going to mention before....

Also, IF one of your concerns is Repetitive Consistancy... Look no further than YANK.

I've had one installed with my FLT Level 5 4L65E Tranny for over 2 years and it performs Flawlessly.

I actually have a lightly used Yank 3600 Torque Converter. New they are around $800 I believe, I'll give it to you for $500 if your interested.

I can take it to a Trans Shop just to make sure the Converter works good as new.

Honestly you can't go wrong with the high quality converters like Yank, Vig, FTI, Circle D. Just pic one of those and you will be happy. I have an FTI and love it. I'm sure if I would have bought a Circle D or Yank I would be equally pleased. Just don't cheap out on it.

What is the difference though? Does the yank stall faster or is it just that it has been out longer and well known?

I've heard you get a little more out of Yank, and that the quality in their products is great.

Their converters are top 3 on the market and have proven themselves time and time and time again at the track. Not to mention customer service is second to none. As far as difference, you will have to wait for them to chime in. You WILL NOT go wrong buying a converter from Yank.
