Yank SS3400 and 3.42's installed When bought my Z28 it had 4.11's but was otherwise stock. The pinion was leaking like a sieve, and I didn't like 3000+ RPM on the highway, so I decided to go with a 3.42. I figured I would have to give up the nice jump off the line from the 4.11's to go to the 3.42.
I was wrong! With the Yank, the car flat out jumps out of the hole even better than before - traction is now the biggest problem (the car never used light them on the line like it does now). And the torque is unreal. From a roll, the RPM's jump instantly to the flash point. Around town, it feels just like a stocker - starts catching around 1500. After one tank, my mileage is only about .5 mpg less too (based on less than one tank, though, so I may not have lost anything). The only difference I have noticed at all from stock is that it doesn't roll off the line from a stop as hard. But that is nothing compared to how great it drives now. Track times April 29.
Thanks Yank for a great product.

Good choice on the converter and the gears, great combo. You'll get better highway mileage and be faster than before.
I'll probably stay with my 3.23 and SS3600 setup.
