SS4000 results are in Well Guys finally made it to the track with the new yank SS4000 installed. That was the only change I made, I am still rocking the 3.23 gears and manifolds. Da was comparable to last year when I ran. My previous best was a 13.14 @ 105.4mph with a 2.045 60' @ 2400 DA. Last night I hit a 12.32 @ 107.2 with a 1.60 60' @ 2100 DA. Around a .8 tenth reduction. So thanks you guys you were spot on on the gains. That yank is amazing. And on another note there were a lot of fbodys out there that had the same mods with different converters, so it was nice to see the differences. One was a circle D but he had street tires so it was a smoke show. All the others had slicks and it went like this, Vig 3500, PT4000, and a tci 3600, I smoked the vig by .6-.7 tenths 1/4. Tci was a joke I think it was slower then the stock stall. And the pt4000 I smoked by around .3-.4 tenths and his best 60' was a 1.72 and that was with 3.73 and a cam. So the SS4000 deff rocks. I just want to put out a huge thanks to Dave at yank for all the help and never steering me wrong on the gains. More times to come on a better prepped track. Later

im pissed, but congrats man. i have the same stall and 3.90s and went from 12.74@109 with the gears too 12.51@107 with the stall. now these were too different tracks and my trans is on its way out and i just ordered an flt lvl 4 trans cause .2 tenths doesnt seem accurate to me, i was lookin for 12.1-12.2. good job man.

different cars and set ups,tunes,etc. too many variables to make a direct comparison especially to a PT4000? by the way what was your 1/8 mile times? but congrats nonetheless it always make you feel like money well spent when you drop that much ET from a pricey mod!

PT4000? we are both running an SS4000. Anyway, you are right, i always tell myself those types of things, but you cant help but be disapointed. ill be bottom of 12s though, when i do the trans and tune it.

So how does that converter feel on the street? loose or tight ?Our cars are the same except for the SS4000 So W/ that converter i should run 12.00 w/ manifold's and cat's.That seem's to good to be true.

It's pretty tight. Rolls through intersections at 2000-2500 rpm, not to bad. I don't have cats, and I have a cutout. But yes I still have manifolds. And yes at a better DA you will run low 12's. I didn't think I would run a 12.3 at 2100 DA but i did. I ran like 15 times and they were all 12.3-12.45 and 2 12.50's spinning. Makes these cars a different animal. They took a pic of the car lauching and there is daylight under the front left tire. So it does pull the tire a little. So hold on for the ride.

Nice times! I just ran my PT4000 for the first time last night, it knocked off a full 1.1 seconds from my time with the addition of DRs. From a 13.0 on the stock converter to an 11.968 w/1.65 60'. I'm getting ready to post the results as soon as I find the 13.0 slip from last fall.
