My "Barbie Vette" and I are serious dragracers that have been field testing YANK Convertors for two years with 28" Tall Hoosier Slicks and 850 rwhp with no problems and noticable positive results.
9.25 @ 155 mph and 1.31 60' off the foot brake.
Currently testing a Rossler Brake and BigStuff3 w/2-step to "Get Off The Line Quicker"

i really dont think that will ever happen,, an a6 converter requires a lot of tcm tuning to make it work,, and they(aftermarket tuners) still dont have all the tables figured out for tcc and pressure. gm would not warranty a trans with an aftermarket cal file in it. the cal verification numbers are the first thing gm needs these days when a trans or engine warranty claim is initiated

The Street series of converters could be a great dealer install item and have been designed for use without special tuning in some of the GM product line.

Curious as to how a post/thread/opinion here on Tech would influence a decision made by GM? Also, how does this big contract effect us little guys when we put in our tiny little one converter order?

GM wants to go with a proven product and Yank has been building LS based converters longer than any other performance converter company over the years many GM techs have owned and driven cars with converters, this site is a great info share place.

The GM line is a special series of converters and will sold that way.

LS owners are all one big family and this opens up more options for the buyer.

Ok, so even with the new, presumably big contract, do we still get our small company customer service we have grown used to?

My old combo had a smaller cam, more gear, and less stall.

The new combo with a Yank stall, more cam, and less gear Drives better, faster, and hits harder, from every mph, in every gear.

Yank is top notch. Period.
