Default Yank is in!

A big thanks to Kurt at LSX Performance, the guys at Speed Inc., Dave at Yank an Patrick G for all for good work, good service, good price, good support and excellent product.

I ordered the SS3200 converter. It has very mild street mannors just as Dave and Patrick suggested. Rpm run about 500 more during normal acceleration which is just want I wanted.

Now to get 150 break in miles and then see what it will do at the track!

By the way, pretty neat aluminum fixture Kurt designed to hold the tranny, differential, cross member, etc. Made it sure easy for removal and installation. Can't see the front support very well but there is a bar running forward to support the tranny. Great job Kurt!

Sure did. It's looks good. But it doesn't have a motor. Don't think it's going to go very fast pushing it.

That fuel cell Kurt put in it sure looks good. Saved a lot of weigth too I'm sure. Your paint still looks like new except for the lower rear where it got rubbed a little doing wheelies!

Does Tom still have my car?

Cool deal Larry! It took ya a while to take the plunge, but it will be so much stronger now when traction is possible. That car is going to be a monster and still be very streetable with the mods you've choosen.

Kurt and Patrick make an amazing team and do great work for sure.

It was good seeing you again the other night at HRP. The next trip should be even more exciting C ya soon buddy!

I finally got up enough will to take that plunge on my what used to be very nice vette. Still is actually even with this street friendly converter. Hopefully these drag radials will hold. There are guys running this 17" 275 that hold 1.5 60'. don't think I will get that good based on what others run with this same converter. 1.6s is about best.

Good seeing you and Sheila as well and hopefully as soon as we get more good air I'll see you again.

Coach, Good luck in San Antonio! Hopefully I'll see you and Tom at the track soon.

Hopefully both of us will see a 10 soon.

Still planning on going out to LMP on Saturday? If they get two drops of rain before Saturday they will shut down so need to check the weather before going.
