Re: Can u lock up a Yank? You can lock it up.
Make sure you've given it some break in time before locking it at WOT.
Efficency. My guess is the 4600 less efficent than a 4400, but I haven't seen any data on it.

Re: Can u lock up a Yank? Yes you can lock it up.
But do it at the track to see if it actually helps you.
the TP is loose... the UT is even more loose.
These are not streetable converters for the "average" joe. But dang they work well at the track.
Good luck.
p.s., locking up ,my Yank yeilded less than stellar results.

Re: Can u lock up a Yank? I would ONLY lock it up at the track John
I'm gonna run it w/o LU a couple times just to see.Then I'll start at about 6000RPM and see what happens.
I hope I dont have to go back to the TP4600 like your running. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Can u lock up a Yank? Interested to see your results, JS. I'm losing my UT4800 and going back to the 4400. Originally we were going with a big cam, but changed plans. Now, like Raugh, I'm not having the results I wanted and think the 4400 will be better.

Re: Can u lock up a Yank? Yea John people say alot of things that arent true or cloud thruths with BS to make themselves look good.
