i dont mean to jack your thread man but since you installed the same one i was looking into and there seams to be some informed people in here i got one question....do you guys think this verter would do good in my ss pickup? i got a boat to pull but only about twice a year for maybe 200 miles total. I emailed yank asking them about my choice before i ordered and havent gotten a reply in like two or three weeks but im sure they closed for the holiday. thanks guys for any info and i apologize on the jacking. glad to hear its working for you!

Well, since I do computer **** for a living, I guess I'll just go ahead and buy HPTuners for what it costs to get it tuned. Then, again, if I can get a mail order tune for a decent price, that might be the most economical way to go.

What to do?

Get HPtuners. If you like computers its actually fun to tune you own car, see what works and what doesn't. HPT also scans and reads dtc's, a good tool to always have handy.

Tuning the A4 for street drivability is something a tuner
can't do on the dyno, but something you can refine on
your own. Go for the tool.

Not so fast ... LOL!!! When my stall converter was recently installed, the day after, I noticed a rattling noise that sounded like the thin aluminum heat shielding that shield heat from the exhaust pipes. I put the car up on ramps today to fix it and discovered that it's coming from inside the tranny where the Yank was installed. Does anybody know what the rattling is?

The problem was just a passenger-side O2 sensor loose ... what a relief!

At the track I launch from 2000-2200 and the car runs 1.69-1.73 60' every time w/2.73s, any lower rpm and it bogs too much with those gears. I`ve had 4 other conv.s and this one drives the best on the street, doesnt rev up too high when leaving a stoplight, unlike the Vigilanti 3600 that does rev up(very annoying).

20 - 25K on Nitto drag radials sounds crazy! I have run one set of Nitto drag radials and got maybe 10-12K out of them until the were complete bald in the center, and nearly bald everywhere else - this is with very few burnouts.

Most people get anywhere from 8K to 15K out of the Nitto drag radials. How do you get 20-25K on them?
