yank ss4000 and slower times? Went from a vig 2800 to a yank ss4000 and my 60 times went backwards with the 2800 my 60 was around a 1.56 with the 4000 my 60 hasnt been lower than a 1.60 and as bad as a 1.68 tires seem to be hookin good just had a dr. evil trans installed with the vert.The car puts out 400 hp and tq with a 3.73 reargear. any ideas on why this is going on, 1/4 times slowed about a .15 also 
well, from what i've read, torque converters tend to eat some hp, and with it being a 4000, it might be sapping a decent amount (don't quote me on that, all depends on efficiency),
as for the 60 ft., is it still hooking as good? you launching any different? wheel spin?

Are your internals stock? Do you have a dyno graph? You may just be stalling to a point that is too high for how your curve is, although I dont see how unless you have a different cam or something.

hmm sounds fishy to me...and just think how many yank owns would be bashing if this was a fuddle..IMO..but if i was you i would take it to the track again and get more seat time with the new combo..and get use to it..
obviously something isn't right if my ss3600 is pulling better times than your 4000 with a lot more power, good luck on your quest it could be a number of things, it really sounds to me like the weather or track prep was different to lose 2mph, that is just too much mph

I would make a few more passes and see if your times get better.
Going from a 2800 stall to a 4000 stall should keep you in the engine power band much longer. You should go at least .2 quicker in the ¼.
Are you sure about the DA numbers? I know my car will be ~.35 slower in the 1/4 with a DA of 1800 vs a DA of -200 and it will not 60 as well either.

Definetly need more seat time to try different things. trans was also changed not sure dont want to point any fingers yet. Isaid the car feels like its hooking great but could I feel it if it was a slight spin that only costed me a .10 in the 60

Maybe your shift extension went too high and out of your powerband. My brother has had nothing but good experiences with his SS4000, with 3.73s. His car makes about 330 RWHP and he runs 12.4s-12.5s on DRs, at about 108 MPH. Maybe you need some more time, like everyone has said. Don' t give up yet ;D

A 4000 stall on a stroker wouldnt have been my pick, not unless you are running a big-*** cam 260+ degrees duration at 0.050. You should be making mumbo torque off the line which *should* shred slicks with a 4000 stall.
Post up your dyno charts - one with 2800 and one with 4000 stall.
