4l60e how good is the yank?

its def true that lots of settings need to be changed in the computer like the PWM which i have turned off so its either full on or full off and it helped noticeably but not 100%. also increased force motor current which helped too but too much and the shifts were too firm so i had to find a sweet spot.
Ive just heard that the clutches they use in the vigilante converters hold a lot better than the yanks. still not necessarily recommended to do wot pulls but they can handle a lot more with less line pressure.

Any vids? Would like to see how it moves under light throttle with those gears.

I have to say, the yank ss3600 i have in my car is great for stall and launches well, but the lockup clutch on it is really poor quality. my transmission is in great condition and has no issues but i had to use the hptuners to eliminate lockup at any more than 50% throttle because the clutch wont hold. dynoing the car while locked up is also impossible. this was never an issue on the stock converter.
I have a precision industries 3800 converter on my dakota r/t and that will stay locked up even at WOT and thats with 350rwhp and 350ft-lbs. I would seriously recommend precision industries vigilante converters over yank any day of the week as the yank lockup clutches are very well known to be weak. I would never buy another yank converter.

I wonder if the clutch is different in the PT series? I have a 4000 and the look up works flawlessly ant any % of throttle driving or on the dyno. It drives pretty loose though. I knew that buying, but haven't see the MPH I was expecting out of it. I gave up some on the launch hoping to pickup in the top end and also make the car more consistent. It is deadly consistent, but since I don't race as much any more I think I would rather have a tighter driving harder hitting converter. I actually just spoke with Chris at Circle D and will be sending my coverter to them to restall. Going with the 5C and hoping for low 1.5x 60'.
