Default yank/ posi lock?? py3600e

I am ordering my converter this week. I am hearing so many mixed things about the vig. and yank. I want the yank py3600e mostly because it's made specially for blown applications.

Please tell me exactly what's better in the yank py3600e over a vigilante. I realize this converter talk is probably getting annoying with so many posts on it but I would really appreciate help before spending $1000 on the yank.

What is this posi lock up clutch on the yank?
I do not want to have to do any wiring to have the converter lock up. (does this mean I should get the vigilante instead?) please excuse my ignorance about converters!

thanks

I bought a yank st3500 this weekend its awesome.I gained 5 tenths on nittos and thats feathering at launch. I say i will gain .7 on et streets launching at a full 3000 rpms. I did some research
on vig vs yank it was 70% for the yank. Definitely
YANK . My .02 cents. <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />

Posi-lock-up clutch does not require wiring. If you put more than 475 ft-lbs of torque in it, it locks-up eliminating slip and reduces the power lost through the converter.

It is an excellent choice for a blown car, espcially if you get serious about the boost level or have H&C to go with the blower.
