Chuck at FLT, Dan Bills at FLP, and Dave at Yank put their skills to work for me to solve some starting line issues resulting in a switch to a Yank 11" single disk locker set at 3600 stall. They pulled off a one week turnaround and off I went to Byron to test.

I made no changes to my setup and had gone over 150MPH only once before. The results were significant. The first run saw me spin the tires HARD and had to settle for 10.50 @ 145. After a minor tire pressure adjustment THE NEXT THREE RUNS WERE ALL AT ABOUT 151 MPH RUNNING 9.30's and 40's in 2800 DA WEATHER.

Even though the new Yank convertor is set at 3400 Stall (My old one was set at 3200) it is more efficient causing the shift points to be tighter by about 200 to 300 RPM in each gear. I'll have to go into the PCM and make some adjustments to get my shift points back. The biggest difference seems to be in 3rd gear. The new Yank seems to lock up sooner and pull really HARD in 3rd gear -- ENOUGH TO FEEL THE DIFFERENCE --!!

THANKS GUYS SO FAR THE CHANGE TO YANK SEEMS TO REALLY MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE!!!

I GUESS ONE CAN SAY THE "BARBIE VETTE" IS NOW OFFICIALLY A 150 MPH CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

awesome job! very nice car. You made the right choice. No reason to spend all of that money and go with anything less.

 

Congrats on the mph! I just got done installing my flt trans and yank converter and I am greatly pleased with the results.

 

i just bought a yank ss3200 that will be installed this week and cant wait to feel it in the car myself!! nice numbers by the way

 

congrats on the results. Yank has proven to be one of the best converters out there for these cars.

 

Glade we got to go along for the ride.

 

Congrats, I've had a few Yank converters over the years and they all worked great, Mike and Dave know a ton about how to design the right converter for a car.

 

Nice work JR... My YANK 3600 should see 150 soon!!!

 

Congrats on the MPH

I've had 4 Yanks and liked them all, no issues here. Dave helped me out nicely

 

Puttin the "slow" (9.50) program in it so I can go test some more this weekend!!

JR

 

Make sure to let us know how you do! Looks like the air quality is really going to suck today after all the rain we have had. Not to mention it's in the mid 80's and muggy as hell! Good luck this weekend and stay cool JR! Vince

 

I happen to see your 9.25 (i think) last Nov. 1. Very impressive! I'm surprised you ran as well as you did last Sun. Not to many people were pleased with the track prep.

 

Awesome. I just switched to a Yank so maybe mine with trap 150 now. Doubtful though.

 

yeah - track prep was a bit of a problem - my 60's were all in the high 1.49's when they are usually in the 1.35 to 1.45 range.

Next step with the new converter is to brake torque at the line up to 1500 (up from 1100) and see if the converter can handle less flash. My old one could NOT. The higher launch RPM will hopefully give me a TAD better 60'.

I will be at Byron on the 28th

I'll have to check your car out a little closer that day. I'll be there, car or no car, a friend is sorting out his new toy. His Mustang (fox body) went 10.90's on it's first pass with an easy launch.

 

I wish it was in the 80's here, 100 degrees and humid = don't even go outside.

Good runs that's awesome.

 

i was there that day also congrats on the runs your car is a beast ! yes track prep was way off for Byron
good luck

 

Wow...another sick FLT/Yank combo. Awesome results from the best in the business!
