I'm thinking in the near future of adding the bottle to my car. The thing is that I have the Yank PT4000 stall and heard it is good only for N/A and not for nitrous, because of the shift extensions. Would it still be ok to use a small shot on the converter? I really don't want to take out the converter and have it re-stalled if I don't need to.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Call Yank and ask them.

Probably, but it depends on your shift points. My ss4000 couldn't handle a 100 shot with stock shift points. I put a bigger cam in and bumped it up to 6900ish and it worked great. Jury is still out on the 150 shot though, I was having all sorts of problems when I tried it.

Yeah I figured I might blow through the converter. The shift points are kinda high, goes up to about 6200-6300 and shifts back down to around 5300.

I'll most likely call Yank and see what they say. I really don't want to drop the transmission lol

From what I remember Yank told me a 100 shot is about the biggest shot you can spray before it'll just blow through.

Need a tighter converter is going to blow rite through it.

Imo best will be one you can lock @ wot at 90 mph to catch one heck of a top end as well.

Like a multi disc.

It will win a tight race for you every time.

Yea I read about others having that experience too as well as some saying it worked fine, that's why I went with a Circle D 2E lol

I sprayed my pt4000 back in the day for a brief period of time before switching converters. It is a loose converter but it will work. Man was that pt4000 a beast !

Yeah this converter is a beast on motor. If I do spray it, I'll probably have Yank re-stall it.

Not recommended for a car with bolt-ons only and stock shift points. I run a 100 shot through mine and it works well, but I shift at 7000rpm. Never sprayed at the track so I don't have any slips to see how it actually runs. I tried a 150 shot and it felt much slower. Trans temp increased 70 degrees after a single pass

Yeah I want to add more power to my car and thought nitrous would be the best bang for buck. But I'll most likely have to change my converter if so.

I also just been debating to keep the converter in it, and just do a head/cam swap.

Well I spoke to Dave at Yank converters, great guy to deal with.

He said the PT will be too loose if I sprayed a 150 shot. He recommends a SS3600 if I do go that route. Just thought I add this info for any others that read this thread in the future.

Now I have decisions to make...lol

My vote is heads n cam... less of p.i.t.a!

I agree, but for about the same cost of getting a nitrous kit installed, I can gain almost twice the power

Just remember that the use of Nitrous on the street is illegal in all 50 states. Just having a bottle hooked up is illegal. It can be anywhere from a ticket to an automatic charge of street racing to impounding your car. It could also void your insurance, perhaps even liability insurance for injury to another person. I sure would never consider it.

COP !! Just kidding, tho its true so do not speed, run yellow lights, drive under the influence of anything and so on.

Yeah but also In California having a cam in your car where the lope is noticeable to hear, is also illegal. Your car can get impounded, get ref'd by a smog station and so forth. Its the game we pay to play
