how much hp would i miss out on?
I have a 98 Trans am a4. I would like to to atleast get a cam and LS6 intake. Heads would be nice.i know whp depends on many factors.Such as what cam and other bolt ons. But how of a difference would stock 243's over stock 98 heads make. would it be a huge difference or just 15 hp or so?

the yanks run a little looser than the others.If it's not going to be a dd,then i would go with a yank. It maximizes the stall better.
I know a few that run the Yank as a dd. They like them.

Usually it's the other way around...
My Yank SS3600 is a very tight converter, almost feels like stock. I let a friend of mine drive my car and he said his TCI 3000 was a lot looser than the Yank.

I have to agree with SOM here. Yanks SS line is known for their tightness around town. Rear gear selection can play a huge role in how loose or tight a converter feels. Vigs are generally known to be a tad on the loose side and tend to be under-rated on advertised stall speed. Both are great converters BTW.
