Yank SS3600 Installed
Yank SS3600 Installed Finished it today, and I can honestly say that it's the best investment I've made in the car, period. Upgraded from a TCI 3500, and there is *no* comparing a cheap converter to a real one.

I loved the way the TCI drove, just like the Yank. The only difference is that the Yank will flash 500rpm higher off the line. That's it.
Rev, my car had the TCI 3500 in it. I was never happy with the converter and in particular didn't like the lockup clutch. Never had any issues with except it just felt too loose and sloppy to me.
The Yank is a lot more refined feeling. It's hard to explain, exactly, but it feels like a factory-engineered OEM converter that happens to be a 3600 RPM unit. It's smoother but still has a punch when you drop the hammer. Being as I'm still breaking it in (50 miles into the breakin period) I haven't done any WOT runs, just some 1/2-2/3 throttle stuff. At those low throttle openings my tires still didn't have a chance, should be interesting as hell when I get dome drag radials on it and get it to the track.

RevGTO: Being as it's not the easiest thing in the world to swap out, and not the cheapest, either, I did a lot of research first. I drive my car on the street most of the time, the track is a fun distraction... Street manners and longevity were important to me.

I have a stock 6L80 in my G8 and I'm not looking to break it so I wasn't looking at the 3600. It's also my DD car, but I want to stall it because of the 2:92 gears in the rear end just for some more low end performance and to help with my cam being borderline drivable for a stock stall.. How does a 3200 Yank sound to you guys? Sorry for the
