has yank kicked precision back
Re: has yank kicked precision back John well said.. yank is made more towards the LS1 market. Vigs are made for everyone but still a good dependable verter. You never heard of the shutter issues and etc with them though unlike the ST3500's.
mine trapped 117 on the 3600, 224 114 cam, and 3.23's. I see yank4200-4400's trappin 116-117 cam only so they look pretty tick for tat..
alot of the reason for yanks being up top is because guys whom were getting vig3600's skipped over them for the yank4400's. If we had more vig users, maybe you would see better et's and traps up at the top...
i like all 3... vig, yank, TCS... ive just had the vig for a while and havent had a issue yet with her.. knock on wood
maybe they are a little less efficient on top end, but they make up for it off the line

Re: has yank kicked precision back "maybe they are a little less efficient on top end, but they make up for it off the line"
So, are you saying that Vigs 60ft better than any of the more efficient TCS and Yank converters?

I have run both, the TCS for only a very short time but as you can see from my sig I do have some track time with the TCS and I am very happy with it, would not go back to the Vig3600 for any reason, but not saying it was a bad converter. I am #22 on the stock internal list right now with the 3600. As soon as I get a roll bar in the car I hope to get higher on the list with the TCS.
Re: has yank kicked precision back ditto lynda.... wasnt saying vigs are 100% greater than the others at 60ing... Its no reason to swap to another verter and 60 the same or .01 better. I see vigs pullin 1.50with heads/cam and I see yanks pullin 1.50 with heads/cam
when i got my vig is was 600bucks.. the closest yank to that stall was 900bucks
we can sit and debate them all day long, but thats not gonna get us anywhere. All 3 mentioned above are great. Ive heard more and one comment on how well vigs 60. Sure a 4400yank may 60 better, but compare a yank4000 to a vig3600. But hell, driver skill and track prep comes into play there.
Colonel, just dont read to deeply into what im saying above(im not putting anyone down or contradicting you). All 3 are great once again, im just a viggy person LMAO
Its also hard trying to tell what im saying in words on here than in person. We could friendly BS about this all day in person
now if someone gave me a 900 verter to put in there and take my vig out I would be game. Its just not worth the cash. Plus if it didnt do as well i would be very ticked off!
anyone wanna give me a TCS 4200 to try LMAO
if I trapped 117 with the vig cam only, maybe I woulda trapped 118.5 or more with the TCS or yank.. now that would be awesome

Re: has yank kicked precision back JS,
This is sort of on topic here I guess. I've heard the ET gains from gear changes in A4 is minimal but there is MPH to be gained possibly. Still trying to decide if it's worth the swap. What were your results with the different gears?
thanks,
Jordan

Re: has yank kicked precision back My lowly SY3500 has cut a 1.48 on a pig of car at 3,850 pounds. That's carring the stock front wheels off the ground mind you with little 26" slicks. Sure I cheated with a 100 shot. 
Pick the specs to fit your goals and don't be afraid to try another brand the next time around if you feel you need a change.
The one thing I will caution people on though is don't expect the world to change over night. A new product line is just that... new. New lines have all the same development issues that the old ones took the heat for before they were able to put them to bed or ended the product. Trust me, I'm working through some of those new growing pains right now.

Re: has yank kicked precision back I purchased my converter used over 2 years ago. I ran into problems and sent it back to Precision and they repaired it under warranty. They worked on my converter to fit it to my current application and will probably be changing it again for me very soon because I am changing mods. Their customer service definately goes way beyond any other company I have done business with. The efficiency of the converter, in my opinion, is like nothing I have ever seen when comparing to other cars. As far as the STR, I find it funny that only 2 companies have the right equipment to test the STR (one being Precision) and another company that does not have this equipment is bashing Precision because they don't believe STR is that important and will take the time to tell the customer why.

Re: has yank kicked precision back I have a Vig 3600 and I hate to say it but I'm not very happy with it. It's a good converter but if I had it to do over again I would go with a TCS or Yank.
Which I do have my Vig for sale, and as soon as I sell it I am going with a TCS. But I figured I would tune the car before I actually get rid of the converter.

Re: has yank kicked precision back
a friend of mine lost three tenths from a yank and sold that, got a Vig. and lost seven tenths.
There are many more factors to think about, its not that cut and dry...
