Just a little info :

I have had 3 different Yank converters in my car for last few years and heres the times I've run with them.

First up is a ST3500 went as fast as 11.55 with a 1.56 60ft with mac headers
second was a TP4400 went as fast as 11.39 with a 1.50 60ft with hooker headers
and finnally the SS4000 curently have gone as fast as 11.32 with 1.48 60ft with KOOK headers.

In the next month I'm thinking of ordering a ss4000 , if I'm using this for the strip and a little street would this be a good converter? Car is full bolt ons and 3.73 gears

Yes that would be a great choice but do not forget the correct tire combo too.

Great info and write up. I may have looked at getting 1 of these out of the states but thought it was going to be to much trouble(freight/duty/etc) ended up with a localy built 1. Keep up the good work.
Cheers Ian

When I first started the car and put it in drive, I almost thought it was the stock converter... That was until I floored it. This things hauls when in WOT now, and the dead spots are totally gone.
this is what i wanted to hear. i'm so getting one now.
