Default Yank Pt4000,pt4400, Ss4000

i think my Yank ST3800 has bit the dust as well as my built transmission so I'm looking into a new stall. My car is street driven and I like a nice hard launch but I'm still on a 10-bolt. which of these 3 converters would fit the ticket? they are all pretty similar in size and build material. just $100 difference.
I have a heads and cam car (torquer 2 cam) so i may need anywhere from 4000-4400 stall. thanks guys

I am in the same situation, I really can't give you advice because I have not had one of these converters. I ordered the SS4000. I had the vig 3800..I liked it, but wanted to try something different..

If it's no issue to you driving a 4400, than go with that. Your cam will thank you for it.

yea, i was thinking that. or ordering a custom 4200 and split the middle. i want a 2.5/2.6 STR but im thinking that could be too hard on the rear. the 2.2 would give me a little more efficiency on the top end

I'm looking at the PT4000 (2.2) with my F13, but will wait to put it on a dyno before placing the order so I can see the power curve.

why are all these stalls just not holding up????? i think a 4400 would be too big. id like to have a custom 4200 but that would be a longer wait. maybe the PT4000 is mroe of what I need.

I love my SS4000. I am on the stock ten bolt and tranny with stock suspension and always stay in the 1.61-1.62 60ft range with a good track. I plan on heads and cam over the winter, but I am gonna stick with the SS4000. Kinda of topic... I hope David is doing ok. I was at Richmond friday night and saw the accident. I felt horrible for him, but I know he will bounce back. Good luck with your choice on converters.

Of the choices offered I would go with the SS4000. I had a PT4000 and it was a bit too loose for a daily driver. The PT line of converters is great for the track but loose for a daily driver.

he's handling it much better than I ever would. he's trying to find good leads on a chassis car as of now. some good deals have fallen through.
BTW, i bought the SS4000.

yea why are these converters not holding up???!?!? its not an encouraging thing to hear from everyone that they loved their stalls, until it died on them...
