Wink Torque Converter...

Ok as in my past posting. I found out that my flexplate was cracked while examining why it sounded like the starter was eating the flexplate when starting my car. Anyways im goin with the TCI flexplate and will buy ARP Bolts for both flexplate and the Converter that ill install while I have it ripped out. My only question is, well I was going to slide towards getting a YANK SS3600, then I was reading about Fuddle Racing converters which are priced the same. Has anyone heard of them and would it be worth going with Fuddle? Let me know cause times comming up for me to make a decision to I can order this shyt!!

I'd rate them in this order:

Yank, Vigilante, Pro-Torque, Fuddle.

Yank is my converter choice. Had one in my stock motor combo (ST3800) and no have one in the car in the sig (PT4000).

What I like about the Yank is that you get a hard launch without the top end efficency losses of cheaper converters.

When you check your ET vs your trap speed with a horsepower calculator the difference in estimated hp shows how efficient your total car set-up is. My car calculates within 5 hp of being the same for et and trap speed.
