    We got the Yank 2600 stall in today. It went in the Dragalanche.
    WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!

    The stock one stalled to about 1200rpms, I can get 2600 out of this one. And, it builds about 1psi.
    This truck has never seen a good burn out, lol, now it does hahahah.

    It feels like a 13sec truck now. I'll find out at the track this friday.
    For some reason it's only at 4psi, feels a ton stronger. Maybe we have an exhaust leak, we did remove the ypipe and relocate the wideband again.

    I can't get over this, it's very strong now. The road is a bit smooth out here, so it helps with burning out. But now it squeels the tires all the way through 1st gear.

    Boost is almost immediate as well.

    When I lay into it, it'll flash to about 3Krpms, or just under, or it gets there so quick, then it just takes off.

    btw, the wideband didn't show any different wot readings now that it's located before the cat, compared after the turbo, but i'll get into that later.

    just an update,

    I put one in mine several months ago and love it. It brake stalls to 2500 and I see 1-2 # of boost at laungh. It made a HELL of a difference in my truck.


    If I could have got a Yank for &#036;375 then I would have bought one but at the time they were around &#036;600. I got the trailblazer converter for &#036;250 to my door, no exchange.

    A converter is probably one of the most important mods to install for launching and 1/4 mile times. Not only does it drop the 60&#39;, it allows for a higher shift extension.

    Ya bud, I hope to be in the 13&#39;s with 5psi.

    SC, we&#39;ll get you there, lol, I know your truck has a lot of potential.

    see you soon

    Agreed. There are a lot of people out there doing bolt on mods that end up costing a couple of thousand &#036; and a converter swap would have given them more 1/4 mile performance than all of their bolt on&#39;s. IMO

    The stall makes all the difference in the world. I know I love my 3600 stall. 13MPG sucks in the city but it leaves a stop light without spinning a tire and I leave the pack behind like they&#39;re still waiting for it to turn green.

    Allen I can honestly say I wish I had gone for that Yank you were telling me about, I mean i had to get the 2500 for time reasons, but damn if my truck leaves the line as quick as it does now, damn i wish i could see the 2800&#33; Let us know how it does at the track&#33;

    Go for the Yank, it&#39;s only &#036;375 and works great&#33;&#33;&#33;
    I can&#39;t wait to bust into the 13&#39;s with a 5800lb truck.

    later,
