thanks Trevor & "4mula", I was contemplating getting a Yank or Vig, but given I also wanted to do servos, Pan, Cooler and DR's, I needed to find a resonable alternative $$wise & from the research I have done, I think it's going to pan out... I will be looking into Procharging my truck within 2 years & by then I will have the trans completely redone and then spending the $$ on a Vig will workout better for me... (and let me keep 100% of my possessions, as opposed to the 50% if I spent double on th converter )

PS. Trevor, did you perfect a technique for launching with the new TC?? right now I am leaving at 1200/Flash, just curious....

Trevor:

Have you locked one of the converters up on the dyno to see the locked vs unlocked results? Just curious where it came out.

Would I be better off running a Yank 4000 or the 3700 Max Effort with a MS4. I'm leaning towards the 4000. Does anyone know if TCI is going to offer a Max Effort in a 4000 stall in the future?

My converter is the max effort, but in a 4500 stall speed & it has the billet cover upgrade. Just call them up & tell them you want a custom stall speed. I always deal with Kevin Winstead.
