Yank ST3800 and 2.73 hey guys. I'm getting a Yank ST3800 stall and I'm wondering what you think I'll lose off my ET's? currently I'm runnin 12.9X @ 108.+ with 2.73 gears and street tires.I may have some sticky tires by this next racing season so consider that. This will be my daily driver but I dont think I'll be too worried about the looseness. Also, isnt the ST3800 STR like 2.6 or 2.7?
I'll be getting a cam within the next 5-6 months (hopefully the F11 on a 114) so my powerband will be pushed up a little to go along with the shift extension. Tell me what you think of these plans. Thanks!

As long as you can get traction off the line, expect 6 to 7 tenths reduction in ET. 2.73 gears are great with a high stall converter, especially with nitrous. Very strong.

I would call Yank to verify the STR (or have them build you a custom one). I think that the ST3200s have a 2.25 str or something close to that, I'm not sure if the whole series retains that str though. With drag radials and a 2.5-2.8 str you should have a real effective combo that's completly street friendly, it should feel pretty tight.

well, I'm getting it from a board member and he says it's a 2.5, and he may be right (havent directly asked him about it). I've just read on here something in the 2.6-2.7 but I'm happy with either. If it is 2.5 thats great because it should help for a good launch
I would look at the SS3600. It will have great driveability and is efficient. The SS3600 has a 2.5STR that will be great for a street/strip TC. I had a TT3000 with a 3.0STR and was tricky to lauch with full slicks. I should have my SS4000 soon and you can check it out. I have the F10 cam and is similar to the F11.

I wanna stay with the 2.73's for a while and have a potent combination with them and hit 11's. once I get into more power and all I'll step up to 3.42's. (I do alot of interstate driving also). I can get 25+mpg now as it sits and the 2.73's will be a nice highway gear to run from a 70+ roll. The ST3800 with the higher torque ratio should do better for my daily drivability on the street with the granny gears. (BTW, ive got a friend (Debian Dog) with the 2.73's and a SS3800 and it rides almost like stock. I believe he runs 12.4-12.5 NA and 11.4 on a 100 shot with a difference being a 224/228 nitrous grind cam and LS6 intake. I should be right there or faster with my LS1 intake and stock cam.

Verdad Gallardo I would not recommend 3.73 gears and nitrous unless your engine can turn lots of rpm. In my A4 2000 WS6, I did not gain any ET by switching from 3.23 gears to 3.73 gears when running nitrous, in fact, I was having to shift to OD before the traps because I was close to hitting the rev limiter in 3rd gear. Not good.

i got a friend with a yank 4000 he's getting rid of but this was a better deal on the 3800 and I wanted it to be a little bit more streetable with the gears. he had 3.23's behind it but a big cam.
if you wanna come out to the meets again we've changed locations since Rock-Ola has closed down. We now go to O'Charleys on Brook Rd at Virginia Center Commons on Wed nights at 8:30. Always a good turn out. Later

being that I'm not making more than 315-330 to the wheels, I shouldnt have to worry about a rebuild or new tranny anytime soon should I? I currently have 72K miles on mine now and hasnt given me any problems even with some street shifting and a hypertech shift tune on it for the last 2 years.
