The 3500 stall converter is not too high! I thought it would be also, but it is fine and I drive my car everyday.
I think it all depends on which 3500 we're talking about. I agree that the SY3500 is great on the street. :yesnod:

I want to say the stock STR is like 1.8-1.9 but that would be a half-remembered recollection of hearsay. :crazy:

Both the Yank 3000 and Super Yank 3500 are VERY streetable converters. I think the lower STR of YANK converters is a big reason for their drivability. Having an STR anywhere over 2.0 is a waste on street tires in my opinion. It would just result in extreme tirespin off the line.

I also checked into the possibility of a YANK GP, and the only way we could offer any further discount off our already low everyday YANK prices would be if we had 10 or more intereted people. From the response so far, I dont think there would be 10 interested.

Matt - I like all the specs on the Stealth Thruster 2800. 11", 2800 stall, 40 lbs, 98% efficient and 2.10 str. I called Mike and he told me that they did not make that for C5's. Yet I have read several posts on them. I need clarification on that unit please.

Oh ya - stock Str 1.8 again per Yank web site. http://www.converter.cc
