Circle D vs. yank
A stall will be my next mod for my car. And im debating between the yank 3600 or the circle d 3600. I have read that the yank is a really tight torque converter and i have talked to the guy at circle d and he says that they have had customers said that their torque converters feel close to stock. Does anybody for sure?

The SS3600 is our best selling converter and we have sold over 3600 units in the last 4 years and over 5200 units of the SS3600's overall.
It is the best driving converter in the stall range class and many design hours have been spent with the help of GM to enhance the profile of the converter.
A best seller !!
any info you need call me at 775 826 9955

I'm one of those 5200
The Yank SS3600 is a very tight converter. It only takes 1700-1800 rpm to shift at light throttle so its great around town. To keep up with traffic it only needs 2200-2300 rpm.
The performance is excellent and it will really put you in your seat.
Also, Yank has a 3 year warranty which is very nice.

They are [anyone can build them] wood wheel stands. In the photo found here:
http://picasaweb.google.com/calder.c...37393294327586
Think of them as drive up ramps without the driveup part.
You will see, not all four, but one in the background, the one holding up the
passenger rear wheel. There are four of these stands - the jack stand(s)
that you see are *only* to stabilize the body.
As you can see, these stands get the car up 18" at the belly pan. I built
these stands for a total cost of $40.00. Each stand is a three-piece sectional,
(in height, that is) in that I can adjust the height of each stand, to three
different heights.
The great part is that the car is supported to each stand on its wheels,
rather than some precarious jack stand. I built these because I felt very
uncomfortable having the car perched up on four jack stands.
I removed the tranny and installed a new one (and torque converter), and
installed headers / y-pipe using these stands.
I've never felt safer under a car.

Yank makes great converters. I've had two different ones over the 8 years and both were great. You can't go wrong if you decide to buy a Yank.
Because Circle D is relatively new to the LS world, let me share my experience. For my new setup I recently I switched to Circle D and couldn't be happier. I would tell anyone to take a hard look at Circle D. They don't have the reputation yet but the words getting out; quality converters and quality service. For my new setup I recently I switched from a PT4000 to to Circle D 5C (5000 stall) and couldn't be happier. It required no extra tuning and the streetability is actually better including part throttle response around town. In addition there is no comparison when hitting WOT from a roll between the two. The 5C takes it hands down. Like I told my friend, they should include a neck brace with this converter.
