How Much Stall and Who? Well things are starting to come together with the car. The heads (TEA Stage 2) will be coming back in about a week and I have a cam being ground from me that should be here in mid May, I got the rear end in and ready to hit the strip.
I just ordered my rebuild kit for my transmission and will be rebuilding that as soon as I get the kit/parts.
What should I get for a Stall speed and any advice on a company? I see a lot a LS1 guys running Yanks.
This car is going to see a lot of the dragstrip and I may put it on a steady diet of the juice until I can scrape the money together for a D1SC.
The cam I’m having ground is just a mild cam that Patrick G spec’d for me. So it’s nothing radical, should idle fine with a very slight chop with a tune.
Any advice?

I'd be interested also so feedback from guys that are running Yanks
or Fuddle.
How do you like them?
Hindsight, would you have gone higher stall speed, lower?
How do they compare to say a TCI Super Street Fighter? B&M Holeshot, Tork Master?
Just want to get as many opinions as I can so I can weigh all the options.

I've run three Yanks and would recommend them every time. Each one was built to the highest standards and performed flawlessly and as advertised. Yank's been in the business for a long, long time and it's obvious by the performance gains their converters give you.
For lots of nitrous or FI, the PYE series are proven performers. If it's going to be awhile before you go FI and you're going to stick around the 150-shot area, the SS series would be a great choice. I ran the SS4000 and it was an awesome street/strip converter and was very tight for its stall speed, but I wanted more topend, so I swapped to my current PT4400 (PT-series are NA converters). It really depends on how quickly you're going to go FI. If it's going to be some time, call Yank and ask about the SS-series....I think you'd be very happy with it. Good luck!

some people have had good luck with them, but thats exactly it, luck. do you wanna play the odds on how long it will take to get to you, or if its even going to be a good one once you get it?

We would be glad to go over some options with our converters. Please give us a call so you can have the best converter for your setup. I am at work for a few more hours if you want to call today. Or I will be back on Monday morning.

I feel confident in the choice I've made and the money spent.
Another thing that impressed me about Yank is the customer service, both
before and after the sale. Dave literally sat and talked cars, "in general",
even without discussing the sales end of things. Yes, they have a business
to run, but you can tell they (Dave) have a keen interest in cars.
Everything was done as promised (manufacturing time/delivery/etc),
which speaks a lot for their integrity.

Just my .02 cents here...I am on my second YANK now, swapped out my SS3600 for the SS4000 after my heads/cam install. Never a problem so far. Tighter than what you might think. Excellent street/strip choice.

Do you know any duration specs on the cam? 228? 234? If its a "mild" cam I would stick somewhere around 3,200-3,400 for the stall range so your flash point will put you right into the beginning power band of the cam.
Personally I run Circle D and wouldn't go anywhere else after the customer service & quality I received.
