Default *VIDEO* Driving with a Yank PT4000 *VIDEO*

Hey guys, blackhawk0251 asked for some videos of stalled cars driving around so everyone could see how loose different converters were during normal driving. I found a video of my car with the Yank PT4000 torque converter, 3.23 gears, Kooks LTs & ORY, and Magnaflow catback and posted it to Youtube. Most of it is just normal driving in different conditions, but I also made a couple of quick pulls to show the shift extension. My car ran an 11.968 with this setup at full weight.

1.65 was the best so far, but that was on a 45 degree night on 275/40R17 Nitto road racing tires. I had to leave the line pretty easy to get it to stick that well.

Very nice, 1.65 is nothing to laugh at on Nittos. Man they can be a pain to hook with a decent converter. Best 60 for me on Nittos has been a 1.69 once, and a couple 1.70s.

Jesus dude, was that on stock suspension?

What is the difference between the PT4000 and the SS4000?
The STR?

Curious which would be a better stall for a decent shot.

So do people use 4000 stalls to save gas on the street? Isn't that less fun?

^^ to save gas? i dont think any converter will save you gas besides like a 1K stall, and it all depends on your right foot

Yep, on stock suspension except for UMI poly/rod LCAs. The PT4000 has a lower STR unless you custom order something different, and is designed for N/A. The SS4000 has a higher STR and is reportedly safe to use with a small-med shot. If you are planning to run a Yank with spray, I would look at the SS or PYE line of converters.

Opposite. It uses more gas but it's a LOT more fun.
