Wow! I saw this car when I brought mine for a dyno tune and it was pretty much an empty shell at that point. Progress looks good. She'll make some good power!

No problems with my yank either 500+ miles a week as my daily driver , drives like a stock car , and still can drive 200 miles round trip to NED and run 9's with out doing nothing but putting my door bar in .I think I'll keep it

i dn if your talking to me or not in this post but even if i wanted a different converter i couldn't afford one of the higher end makes anyways. I love my Yank. One of my best mods so far if not the best mod.

So, we'll see. It's pretty well known the first converter is just for testing.
I myself and a buddy also have the same 3400 Yank in our turbo cars. They work great not to Mention that mighty mouse had the 4l80 version of the same Yank 3400 converter in his turbo car. That worked pretty well for him down to 8.40
