Default PT4000 is in!

Had my Yank Pro Thruster 4000 installed today. Big SOTP difference over the SY3500, especially from a dead stop. Have some tire spin, but nothing that I can't peddle out of. I'm pretty impressed with how well the BFG's hold this convertor on the street. From a 15mph roll, no spin. Dead stop nets some spin, but I can control it pretty well. Love this convertor!!

I am running BFG Drag Radials (275/50/15) on 15" Welds. Only suspension work is Lakewood LCA's and a Hotchkis panhard rod. I think the skinnies up front help a little also. Will probably take off front sway bar on drag strip days for some extra traction.

You should notice some gain from a roll on the upshifts too.

I do notice it from a roll, seems to work best at around 15-20mph. From a 60mph roll, I think the SY3500 worked just as well, but you can't beat the hole shot on this convertor, it rocks. I'm getting ready to put my driveshaft safety loop in this morning, feels like it is definitely necessary now.
