Default Allright converter masters, answer me this

Yank has the Pro Thruster, the best NA converter, and the Pro Thruster Extreme, power adder converter. In NA applications, how much better is the regular Pro Thruster then the Pro? Then lets add some nitrous, at what shot does the Pro start to overtake the regular?

There must be some crazy nitrous guys running the Extreme. How much better is it on nitrous and how much worse is it NA? I'm just asking for estimates.

The Pro Thruster 4400 is the most awesome converter N/A, but not a very good choice for a nitrous shot over a 100 shot (.052 jet). A Pro Thruster 4000 is good up to a 125 shot (.062 jet).

When you get to a 150 shot, a Super Thruster 3500-3800 is better (for strong N/A and nitrous running) and a Pro Yank 3600 Extreme would be almost as good on motor and better on nitrous.

When you go 175-200 shot, you definitely want a larger diameter converter with more holding capacity like a PY3600E or a PY3400E. The 3400 would be the only choice when running a 200+ shot of nitrous, but it's pretty weak in comparison on motor.

Here's some theoretical comparisons:
400 rwhp motor/3500 lb race weight.
N/A
PT4400 1.50, 11.50, 119 mph
PT4000 1.52, 11.54, 119 mph
ST3500 1.58, 11.61, 118.5 mph
PY3600E 1.62, 11.66 118.5 mph
PY3400E 1.72, 11.80 118 mph

100 shot
PT4400 1.42, 10.70, 127 mph
PT4000 1.42, 10.70, 127.5 mph
ST3500 1.44, 10.72, 127.5 mph
PY3600E 1.48, 10.76 128 mph
PY3400E 1.52, 10.89 127 mph

175 shot
PT4400 1.38, 10.40, 130 mph
PT4000 1.37, 10.30, 131 mph
ST3500 1.36, 10.25, 132 mph
PY3600E 1.36, 10.20 133 mph
PY3400E 1.36, 10.20 133.5 mph

Make sense?
