How many guys are patiently waiting for a Yank converter
My car is done for the summer if they don't get going soon.
Product Loyality at its best, but I don't even understand why.
Come on Mike,get it done.

They have had the same problem for a few YEARS now. It usually takes them forever. It took them forever to get me the st3500. I cannot understand why the have not fixed this.

Because you didn't have to wait long to get it?!

That's not what I base my purchasing decisions on.

Great that you don't "base your purchasing decisions" on any "one" thing. It does play a role in my purchasing decisions however, as long as my other purchasing criteria are met. My experience was I couldn't even get in touch with the people at Yank after trying for over a week. Your mileage may vary.

In the case of the Pro Torque, those other criterion, I spoke about, were met, along with the fact that I didn't have to wait a year to get it. When I called Pro Torque, I spoke to a human being, part owner, who answered my questions to my satisfaction. I "based" my purchasing decision, in part, on those criteria.

Mine have always come (2 that I have had) in a week or two. No big deal. I hate waiting as well, but they do have a good product and from my experience and others I know, there was never a WAIT that was a Major issue (like the Powerloader used to be on here )


Good Luck. I am sure either works fine, but I am sold on Yank especially with several 1.58 60' on Drag Radials
