vig or yank I know this is a never ending debate but anyway im going to ask the question.I want to know the best converter.I have a 02ss lid,maf,macs,offroady,373s i drive it every day & dont want to loose that my 60ft right now on et streets is 1.86 not bad but i want more. I am going to spray 100 or 150 nx wet kit. I would appreciate the advice thanks.
Re: vig or yank Yank Super Thruster 3500 has the 60' you need with better top end efficiency under the spray than a Vig 3200. I spray the hell out of mine at it works like a champ.

Re: vig or yank My nod goes to the Yank as well.
Show me a naturally aspirated vig (any size vig) that has 60'ed or MPH'rd as well as my Yank equipped car, and you might change my mind. Until then? Fagetaboutit!
Yank Rules.
You get what you pay for... there is no free lunch.
BTW, I too would recommend the Yank ST3500 for your needs.

From: Your Reality Check Bounced...
Re: vig or yank I've driven both on pretty high hp cars and I would take the Yank ANY day over the Vigi. The Vigi isn't a bad stall and you won't be dissapointed with it, but the Yank just simply outperformed the Vig.
Besides...Vigi's are pink...I can't have nothing pink on muh car! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Re: vig or yank John I agree with u to a point.
Most of the quick/fast cars run a Yank.
But lets face it u cant compare the converters that way.Truthfully u would have to run the SAME car on the SAME day at the SAME track in the SAME conditions.
I will agree that the Yank will get u more MPH.
No doubt about,Its more efficient up top.
I will say this....
A Vig can 60ft as good or better than a Yank in the same weight car with the same HP.But it will give up something at the end.I have seen the results on the dyno and Mikes does not lie about this stuff.
A #7 pumped Vig will be in the 92% range as opposed to a TP series at 94%.This was verified on the dyno but like a smuck I sold my trusty TP4400.I shoudve never done that.
U say,Well thats not much?
How about if your making 430RWHP.....
2% is almost 8.5RWHP more and that adds up real quick when the verter is unlocked.Your looking at a 10HP advantage with the Yank..
I tried the UT4600 and it didnt work for my setup.
I shouldve listened to PatrickG.
But the TP series Yank is building is the BEST converter out there to date.BAR NONE!!!!
I'm running a modded 4300 Vig now and I will continue to test it until Oct. just to give it a fair comparision and decent air to run in too.
Then I'm gonna switch the back to a TP4500.I think I'm gonna be pleasantly suprised at the end of Oct.
Will see?

Thats it, and I meant it. They can run any day they want, same as me. When a similar car with a different verter' starts putting out times/mph better then mine. Then I will consider changing. Until then? fagetaboutit! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
No other N/A heads/cam verterd LS1 is putting out better numbers. When they do... then I will give that verter props. Until then I will stand on the top of the nearest mountain and shout; "Yank RULES".

Re: vig or yank I now have a TP4000 and will spray it soon...I was told it will hold very well and easily a 150 shot. If not im gonna raise some hell like i did last time. AS of now i am a happy camper and would recommend a Yank tp series TC as well

Re: vig or yank John dont take this the wrong way but your shortblock has been apart.Sorry man that just doenst sit too well with me when compairing your car to the others that run H/C setups.
Your old combo is a good comparo and it I think it went a very impressive 1.43?
But your car is also LIGHT,VERY LIGHT.
I on the other hand have run a 1.47 using a 3800 Vig in a 3590lb car.Just alittle heavier and alittle less stall than your TP4600.
See what I'm getting at John?
I can sway the cards too.
I surely agree with u about the Yank being better but using your car as an example isnt truely fair.Lets looks at the other 5 or 6 low 11 Sec cars to date.My 3800 Vig has 60ft as good or better than all of ones using a Yank.
I do agree the Vig falls behind in the mid track and to the end for sure..No doubt about it the Yank is better and I totally agree with u on that point.
So rustle up some steaks and invite me down to TX for some Cowboy hospitality...

Re: vig or yank I think the the Yank PYxxxxE series would be a better choice for spraying and a daily driver. It costs more, but it's worth it. I had the ST3500 and now the PY3400E and wouldn't go back IMO of course... Just wish I had more stall now.

Re: vig or yank I had a ST3500 and granted I didn't race enough to learn how to launch right on it... I couldn't cut better than a 1.8 on it... and I lost 4mph <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> I have a vig3600 now but haven't raced it yet
