Holy sh*t Javier. Big congrats to you. I am truely jealous now. 
Remind me what it feels like to put time and effort and not to mention cash into going faster then actually being happy with the output. Feels good don't it? I have always wanted to try a Yank in my car. The Vig3200 is a great converter but I have seen LT1's with the Yank 3500's move out with some tremendous trap speeds. That Yank 4000 sure seems to pull you through nicely. But that new motor combo shouldn't be downplayed behind the trans and converter. 355 is a tough little horse and with the LE package it is that much more stout. Did you have anyone recomend the Yank4000 for your package? Also how does the car run cruisin around town? Is it still an enjoyable car? That is one thing I am not happy about. My car is not fun to drive anymore on the street. Love it at WOT but just to cruise, I'd rather keep it in the garage...
Congrats once again to ya kid. You deserve it. You been playing this game for quite awhile now.

I'm actually curious to know too. I have a crappy midwest 2800 converter that i feel is holding me back some, i'd like to upgrade converters to something in the 3500 or so range from Yank.

Good job and you can defiantely 60' low 1.5's and once you work on the car a little, I don't see 1.4's being a probelm since I ran a 1.46 60' with my LE headed 355, with 3.42 gears and 26" ET streets. I also run my best 60's with my ET street radials @ 14-15psi. I am finishing up my LE3 heads/cam setup and should have some numbers in April. Goodluck b/c it can only get better with some runs on the car. Later Clint

Congrats! Let's get some suspension on the car and weight out!
And to add to the stall, all of my best 60's were from off idle with the A4 or TH350. Could be the TCs like that better, that was with both Yank and Vigilante.

I saw more fast cars on LS1tech running Yanks over anything else, and few people here running Yanks, so I gave it a shot. When I spoke to Dave over @ Yank he recommended the PT4000 (pro thruster) for my N/A needs. I'm gonna try to make a video of "around town" driving so you guys can see what it's like a little better. It's hard to describe, but the car still has forward momentum at idle, and as one would expect takes a little more goosing when driving around town, but you can keep the revs a hair under 2800 RPM and still keep up with "brisk" traffic.

don't let em get to ya man. My shake down runs were 12.2s...fixed a few things with a low rpm studder and went 11.8s. No changes to the motor just suspension/gears/tunng/lots of other thing but not touching the motor got me n the 10.9s. Congrats man and keep at it.

I'm backing off to Autolite 104's when I get a chance. The car is set to shift at 6800 RPM.
Your tweaking and time dropping is an inspiration though.. thanks! Good luck, and I responded to your post on tech!
