Default 3600 or 3200 for DD

Will a Vigilante 3600 on bolt on z be hard to drive for a daily driver? Should I look more into the 3200? I've heard from many that a daily driver shouldn't exceed 3500. Also plans for a cam in future but for the time being it will just be bolt ons. Anyone with experience with either of these pease shed some light.

At least 3600. I have a 3500 in a DD and am conidering upping to 4000. You get used to it and don't realize it's there....until you nail it!

Just remember that Vig converters stall speed is rated about 400rpm less than other manufacturers, so a Vig 3200 is comparable to an XYZ 3600.

For a daily driver I would get the vig3200 (stalls at 3600 rpm's). That should be a nice compromise of speed and streetability while working well with the TR230 cam.

I've had both 3200 and 3600.The 3200 was by far the better dd street stall, but when i put my h/c on there was a flat spot in the launch. The cam kicked in a about 3500 and the stall was a 3200. So if you plan to make big mods get the bigger stall.

I love my Vig 3200. It's a great street/strip stall.
