Default Circle D or Yank?

I am planning on getting the TSP228r cam and i was wondering what stall is best for my daily driver. I was thinking 3400-3600, circle d or yank.

Can't go wrong with either. I'm a happy Yank owner but Circle D would be my second choice.

Three Yanks and all have been topnotch....Circle D would be my next choice though. You can't go wrong with either, both offer quality converters and excellent customer service. I think you'd be thrilled with either!

I just bought a Yank today for the same cam, he talked me into going with SS4000 so that's what I'm getting. Super nice guy just give him a call, the SS3600 or on sale right now for $695.

Both companys build a great converter, but my vote goes to Circle D Specialties.

Give Chris a call. He'll hook ya up!

A good quality converter is the best mod for the money.

+1 for Circle D

The Circle D 3C is rated at 3500-3700. I think it would be a good match for the cam. Street manors are very nice, I have a lot of guys using this combination on the street. I hope to talk to you soon!!

Great support and communication always from Chris at CircleD even with us in Australia.
We have a number of cars going 1.4/1.5 60 footers and still having nice driveability on the street due to the CircleD lockup quality.

I have a 6L80e triple plate from CircleD matched to around 440rwkw and its driving great.

I have a 228R and a Yank SS4000. The combo is perfect as far as I'm concerned. Great streetability and it pulls HARD. It's always in the powerband and is an absolute blast to drive.

Probably because he specifically asked about Circle D and Yank. And besides, both Circle D and Yank blow Vig out of the water.
