TT3000 (tighter feel), PYE 3400, or ST 3500 (best performance but loosest feel)

Anothe vote for the ST-3500. Had it with my 2.73 gears, and i really dont think it was lose at all.

Ran 12.2's at 112 with the st3500 and headers/lid with miserable (Nittos and bad track prep) 1.8 60's Pretty damn impressive if u ask me. Unfortunately i caught the fever, and now here comes the YTP4400 <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />

So, how the hell KILL those damn SES lights with ST3500 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
and what about this post/guy:
"...When i was looking for a converter i to was looking at the yank st-3500 but i saw too many people having lock-up issues and i seen too many people chewing up their pump seals on their trannys with the yank converters."

Has anyone tried out that new ST4000 yet? Yank has good things to say about it but anyone try it? Also compared to the ST3500 how loose would the SY3500 be with 2.73s... for those that dont want to spin tires all day and want to race from a roll?

Anyway....the SES light from the ST3500 came from lockup issues with the new model f-bodies (01-02s). Mike has since fixed that and made a version 2 ST3500.

The TT series converters are a larger diameter converter and have been trouble free as far as I know.
