I have an LT1 if that makes it any different. The SLP/Yank is $300 cheaper, but how is it compared to the vig. It's going to be on a daily driver, and I plan on doing a cam, mabey heads. My question, is how is the SLP compared to the Vig? Right now I'm leaning towards the vig because I don't trust SLP .

Does TCI make a converter for your car?

Yep

I personally like my Yank 2800. I really don't have anything to compare it to.

Look at the TCI then.Price check.

TCI is cheaper, but how efficient is it compared to the vig and yank's?

Don't waste your time and money with anything smaller than a 3500.

From what I hear about TCI is that the advertised stall's are nowhere near what they really are. They aren't consistantly wrong either.

As far as the Yank and PI. I have heard from a number of sources that those two companies have the most efficient converters.

Just my $.02.

That isn't neccessarily true. If he isn't going to go to the track often then he shouldn't need a 3500 stall or higher. The drivability of my converter is great. It also helps the performance. If he wants something just a little over stock then I would tell him to go for a 2800 or a 3000 stall. If he is going to the track more than once in a blue moon then I would agree with you and say get a 3500 or higher stall.

For an LT1, the Vig 2800 is a good choice; it will perform better than the SLP unit. SLP makes a 3300 for the LS1; if that unit is available that would be a better converter than the 2800.

For an LT1, 2800 - 3200 stall seems to be a good range. The LT1 normally has better low end grunt and doesn't spin as high as the LS1. Additionally, the programming can be an issue on converters over 3500 on some years.
