HDMLNIUM Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 What do you guys think about the Yank 2600 Truck thruster for my Denali. They claim to keep the tow rating the same as factory. I want it to run good while at the track but still be able to tow my Lightning when going to an event. My mods; Westers 93 octane ECM Volant intake with ram air tube Throttle body bypass Screen removed from mass air meter-----15.1 @ 89 to this point New mods Supermaxx longtube headers with high flow cats Corsa cat back 180 degree thermostat underdrive crank pulley Just odered NX wet kit, figure start with a hundred shot? I would like to add a converter so I can launch with the nitrous. And one more question, what do you guys think she will run now?

zippy Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 i'd say about 14.4 without the nitrous and 13.5 on the nitrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adams2003 Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 I think the 2600 would work well on your truck for what you want to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_w Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 I'd love to be able to solidly recommend a converter, but I'm going through a similar dilema myself. 99% of the people I 'poll', say to go with the 3000. When I ask about towing, most just reply back that "Yank says it okay". (I'm usually looking for more specific feeback) The other 1% that go with the 2600 are all level headed and honest, with good feeback for me. They say that the 2600 would be better for towing duties. Unfortunately, I cant decide if I want to be practical, or flagrant in this area. For your ET's: 14.5 w/o juice 100 shot........ high 13's depending on traction?

HDMLNIUM Posted February 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Thanks for the replies, I think I will go with the 2600. Traction shouldn't be a problem, being AWD and all. If it is a problem then it will be a fun problem.. ;) Bill-03-SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 3000 and I dont think it would fair well if I used it to tow. Go with the 3000 if your gonna be towing stuff, unless you tow something kindoff lite maybe a couple times a year.

QWKLS1 Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I just ordered a Vigilante 2800 for my truck.... I love the one in my car and thought i would give it a try in the truck. It will probably be a couple of weeks before i get it installed but I will post the results when it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 with the ss, i say go with the 2600 if you're going to tow and 3000 if you're going to just drive it for fun. also, if you're using a whipple or radix supercharger or nitrous, i'd also recomend only a 2600. traction seems to be a big problem with these trucks even with the awd. looks like some are going to have to start working on suspension mods like qa1 or rancho rs9000 shocks. i think cal-tracks and some better than eagle LS tires would be a huge improvement. a vig 2800 should stall around 3000 in this heavy of a truck with the torque of a 6.0. certainly a good choice though.

QWKLS1 Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Yeah, the vig. in my car stalls at around 3000 aslo. The stall speed of the P.I. converters is always a tad higher than what they are rated at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plwtwo Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 I have a TT2600 and love it.... I was towing my 19 ft Jet boat the other day, and it did great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Zippy, you think we could use some cal-tracs??? And benefit from them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 odd enough, i think even being awd this truck could benefit from caltrac's. i think adjustable shocks would really help with weight transfer by loosening the suspension when you want to run it, but keep it tight when crusing. i don't think the caltrac's would be any help for wheel hop since that hasn't been an issue, but they seem to work really well on the 2wd's and my guess is getting the rear to hook on this truck is going to be more important than the front to hook with as much weight transfer as it's getting.
