Default YPT selection 4000 - 4600?

I have a 3200 Vigi now and I'm about to order my new Yank as soon as I can be sure on which stall speed will make me the happiest. I talked to Mike @ Yank, great guy, and he suggested a 4200 over what I have now. I just want to make sure I'm getting the right stall due to so many people running the PT4400.

I have a bolton car and I want to roll some mid 11s on a stock motor NA of course. I plan on acheiving that goal and then camming it to have a 10 sec street car. Which stall speed would you recommend. Also, what are the differnences and pros/cons of one speed over another. Thanks in advance.

I had a PT4400 and it was messed up or something because it was LOOSE as hell. I now have a PT4000 and it feels alot better. There shouldn't be this much of a difference in the way they feel, which is why I think there was something wrong w/ the 4400. I love the 4000 so far!

Mine is in the sig. Looking at what your wanting and your planning to cam it both the 4200-4400 will work. The PT 4400 will have shift extentions of 5800 rpms where the 4200 will have shift extentions around 5500 rpms so the 4400 will pull a little harder through the rpm range. Both will be loose and hard to tell between the two so if it were me i would go with the 4400 for all out 1/4 mile performance oh!... i also had a Vig.3200 and the difference will be more in the midrange and topend with the higher shift extentions with the Vig.3200 falling around 5000 rpms on the shift extentions so just imagine the difference Hope you like to launch HARD!!!

Oh I do, but we'll see how my 10 bolt feels about it. I'm going to be on a 17" ET Street with my drag suspension. How much harder does the PT4400 launch over the 3200 Vig? Thanks for the replies. Are you guys running a preped trans with the PTs?

The Yank does not hit the tires as hard as my Vig. 3200 did but more of a harder pull and not the hard jolt. My 4L60E is raced prep'd but not by choice.

Many folks feel the TP's and the Vig 3200 (3800) both hit fairly similar. The launch is not so much where you will feel the difference. The time slip will show you the difference...trap speed and E.T. will be better. (should)

If you have a semi-heavy car go with the 4400. Car is lighter? go with the 4200. (imo)
These TP's really like lighter cars. The lighter it is the better your 60' will be and the better your mid range will be.

If the car is heavy go with the 4400. Light? or you do not want to sound like your revving to the moon all the time? go a little smaller and choose the 4200.

Good luck

Excellent, the car is down to a 3325 pound weight. I'll go with a 4200. Thanks for all your help guys. Hopefully I can see some 1.5s this season.

Would you guys recommend getting a prepped trans with the PT4200? Will the stock one hold up with it? If I need a trans, which would you recommend? Thanks.

..1.5's should be no problems with a good set of tires.
The converter will not care whether the trans is freshend up...nor should you be scared of using the verter with a stock trans.





Will the stock one hold up with it?

...Should not make a difference. Just follow good practices with your tranny. Always use a good cooler, change the fluid often and do not hor rod it while it is in OD. Do not manualy shift the trans.

If I need a trans, which would you recommend?


Your asking me?! YANK, bro, Yank... mine is still kicking after a whole LOT of runs and more than a few years. www.converter.cc
Talk to Mike. He will do you up. Probably offer you a good deal if you order the verter and tranny at the same time. Good luck.
