Default what converter with my setup??

I have a nitrous rated pro yank 3600 extreme converter in my car now, and it's way too tight. The converter barely stalls up to 1500rpm. I'm sure this is a great nitrous converter, but my car is mostly a motor car. I just had the tranny built and had the converter checked. I went to the track yesterday and was only pulling 2.0 60's on MT et streets. My mods are in my sig.

My question is... what converter, under4k stall, will provide the best launch on my setup while maintaining efficiency?

btw: I drive this car 2-3 times a week, but i do use it on road trips.

Build a bigger motor and that converter will work great....oh yea and spray it


I'd go with a Vig 3200 or 3600 personally...youll 60ft in the 1.6-1.7's and will work fine with spray. Youll sell your yank for more than the Vig' will cost you

Yeah, I tried pretty much everything to get the car off the line. flashing, stalling, e-brake to stall higher...blah blah blah. I got 6 runs in yesterday.

Contact Dave at Yank and he'll guide you.

I have had the ST3500 and the PT4200 and loved both of them for different set ups. The SS3800 would be ideal if they made it, but the SS3600 would be a good fit IMO.
