At this rate………. I will NEVER see my bird again…… maybe by 2006????

So, I had a custom made SS 4000 converter FOR A V6!!!! I spoke with the tech department at Yank 3 frigin times BEFORE ordering!

My last converter, ProYank 3200, was custom made to my spec’s so I am NOT A NEW customer to Yank!!!! They have my information on file!

I think we are pushing 3+ weeks now?!?!?!!?

My alleged SS4000 FOR A V6 arrived at TTP LAST FRIDAY. They went to install it TODAY… and it was too big?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

You have NO idea how mad I am!

Spoke with Matt, owner of TTP…..

Contacted Yank, the guy who answered the phone told me I probably ordered it wrong online…… I’m like NO PIG F*CKER!!!! Would I, the BIGGEST token V6 guy EVER, mistake my car for a V8?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

He looked…. Found that the owner of Yank made my ProYank 3200.

He claims I ordered the SS4000 for the 1993-1997 style f body. He told me his department assumed it was an LT1?!?!?!?!!

I told him, THREE calls to the tech department…. I provided all the names of the people I spoke with?!?!?!?!!? He was like…. Um..uh…. I ummmmm…..

I did not rip into him, I remained calm.

He then claimed that the v6’s aren’t that fast so I might not get that quick….. I’m like……. WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I then explained a bit about my car mentioning ET’s, MPH’s 60’s RWHP and RWTQ.

First thing he says, have you ever dynoed it? I went quite………. I then said, I just told you my #’s…. I then explained that my v6 is……. Quite quick compared to the other v6 3800 series 2’s All the info and spec’s I provided to the guy seemed to go in one ear and out the other?!?!?!?!

I provided my UPS tracking # for the SS4000 which is on its way back NOW to Yank.

Monday morning I will be able to speak with the owner of Yank…. And their tech department. So…… no firebird for oh…. Another 1-2 weeks?!?!?!?!

And…… adding the 410’s was a nightmare too!!!!!

I’m sooooo ******** pissed right now! Argh!

Dude...see how stupid it is to own a V6? Just suck it up, buy a V8 and you would not have these problems.


kidding. Dude, that blows man. Good luck, I hope you get the new one, and tha *** doesnt take till 2006, cause I just might have my car on the road before then!! :lol:

damn man, sorry to hear all this. I am still waiting to get weather stripping kits from OPGI for the chevelle for the convertible top, and the damn thing is on! I ordered them 3 months ago and am beginning to get real heated. I layed into them a few days ago so they then figured out they owed me a rear view mirror (Which i had forgotten about) but not at big of a deal as your converter, but i know how you feel. Good luck man!

Ok, had a nice conversation with Yank today.

Lots of appologies.....
I contacted them around..... 11:30 AM and left message.
Spoke with them at 2 PM

An LT1 was sent to TTP.

They found me on file.... and saw.... V6!!

Owner of yank began making me a new converter this morning.
SS 4,000 converter
Looking for an STR of 2.6-2.8 ;)
Effeciency quite high.

I won't have specific #'s yet..... but soon.
The owner is hoping to have it done before last UPS pick up tomorrow.
Should be in mail tomorrow or latest Wednesday morning.

Spoke with TTP
Tranny is on a jack waiting for the converter to arrive.

Previous history:
Yank made my current converter
ProYank 3200
2.8 STR
95.5%-96% effeciency at 5,800 rpm's
I went 0.7 quicker in the 1/4
