I broke my trans from hard launches on my Vig3200 and ET Streets, took out my 10-bolt too. That was about 40K after I installed my Vig. Recently the trans also took out my Vig3200 after 80K miles of great service, but that was due to the guy that rebuilt my trans the first time ... he didn't know squat about 4L60Es and claimed to have beefed it up. 
My Vig3200 lasted almost three years, could have been more though.

I've had my MW 3400 for about 8 months. Car bogs down from a 10-15mph punch...hard to explain. Torque management is bad at times. All most likely fixable from tuning.
Other then that it's been great for me.

No, not really ... a converter should last a long time, much like a trans, engine or diff. Some of these guys have had bad luck with their converter, much like people with clutches. If you beat on it hard alot, it will break ... but if you are moderate with it, it will last you a long time. Also remember to instal a B&M oil cooler to protect the trans and keep those temps down.
