I am wanting a 3600 or 4000 stall. I'm needing it to be under $700 shipped, what is my best bet?

 

You're best bet is to find what specials are going on right now. I think you can get a really good converter for the money you're looking to spend, or slightly more. If you can't find a good converter for that price, do yourself a favor and save a little longer until you can afford it. A converter is an area you do not want to skimp on. I've run Yank and Circle D and highly recommend either company.

 

I know ur car ran great with the Yank..do u have any comparison runs with the circle D?

 

i would like to know also

 

I do. My best run with the PT4400 was 11.62 @ 116.08 with a 1.58 60'. The video in my signature was with the PT4400 and was my best 60' with it. The weather was in the low 40's.

My best run with the Circle D so far is 11.70 @ 115.02 with a 1.57 60'. The weather was in the high 60's-low 70's on that run. All other factors were equal as far as car setup goes. Here's the rundown on both slips:

Yank

60'- 1.581
330'- 4.729
1/8- 7.382
MPH- 92.36
1000'- 9.682
1/4- 11.625
MPH- 116.08

Circle D

60'- 1.579
330'- 4.751
1/8- 7.429
MPH- 91.71
1000'- 9.747
1/4- 11.704
MPH- 115.02

This is all on factory Bilstein Level II suspension, stock 10-bolt with 3.23's, front swaybar delete, 1/4 tank of gas, stock 17X9's up front and 16X8's in the back with Hoosier DR's at 18 psi. Approximate race weight is 3650.

As far as daily driveability, the Circle D has a 2.7 STR as compared to the Yank's 2.5. The Circle D is slightly tighter everywhere and drops down to ~5600 between shifts. The Yank dropped to ~5700-5800. The tightness is noticeable as is the difference in shift extension, but otherwise they are surprisingly similar converters. The Circle D lock-up does feel more direct and firm.

Those of you who know me know that I love my loose converters and topend, and the Circle D certainly produces in that department. Once again, very similar to the Yank which means that it's a monster from a roll and up top. After putting about 1000 miles on the converter I can honestly say that I really like it. It's very docile for having such a high stall rating. I probably won't get the chance to run it again since Memphis closed down and I have some plans for the car. But I think it's safe to say that it would have at least matched the Yank with better weather.

I'll always be a Yank fan, but I can now say that I'll always be a Circle D fan as well. Both companies approach the game a little differently, but each will give you a quality product that will certainly put a smile on your face. As soon as I can get back to a track, I'll pass along my new results. But it's great to know that I have converter that leaves a lot of room to grow!

 

yank just said their having a tax return special on a post in the forum....if its anything like the group purchase you might get lucky and get one under $700 shipped

 

Damn those results are so similar it makes it WAY to hard to pick either one...lol

 

redneck racing is a good one !!!

Thanks for the post, I know a lot of guys have been asking about your car. It is an amazing setup. I wish we could of had some better weather. Any word on Memphis??

Chris

 

Unfortunately no....closest track now is 1000' at Centerville. I'll get over there as soon as I can, but I work weekends and that's when they race.

Regardless, the converter is awesome in every way especially for it's size. Hell it's worth it alone to see jaws drop when I tell folks what it it! I'm confident there's a new PB in there without changing anything but it'll have to be on a different track. I'm anxious to see what it does with more power in front of it . Thanks again Chris.

Anyone thinking about Circle D should just pull the trigger-deal with Chris just once and you'll never look back!

 

It's a shame you didn't get to run the Circle D converter in comparable weather conditions. There is a big difference in the air between the 2 tests. I'd bet close to a 1000ft DA which would be a full tenth in the 1/4 mile. Your 60fts were better in worse air so it would have been nice to see a closer comparison.

Good report man.

 

I really had high hopes of a new PB and on that particular launch I was just sure I had it. It was the hardest launch I've ever felt with my car. A buddy watching from the side said it pulled the front tire a couple inches....if so, that's a first. I tried so hard to get matching weather, but the LSX Shootout and a trip home to Indiana prevented that from happening. Hopefully I can get over to Centerville while it's still nice and cool and see what differences I can get in the 1000'.

I'm going to start my own thread so more folks can see this information and I can keep hijacking other threads .

 

I would go with edge racing!
