Dropped 7 tenths with a Vig3600 and some tires Can't say enough about this converter. The results speak for themselves. Beat our personal best with the 2000 T/A by a long shot. Dropped 7 tenths with just a converter and some drag radials. Car was running consistent 12.9-13.0 with just headers/intake/tune/3.42s same air as tonight. That was with a 1.9 60' on street tires.
Went up to the track tonight only mods since then are some M/T ET Streets and the 3600 vig:
12.275 at 108.12 with a 1.629 60'.
Had some probs hitting the limiter on the 2-3 shift but we will get it taken care of. Best 60' of the night was 1.595 but hit the limiter on the 2-3 so it only ran a 12.3x. Hold on 10 bolt! i think there is another tenth or 2 to be had.
Just wanted to share how this converter completely changed this car.

I've been running a Vig since 1996...Can't say enough good things about the converter either...I dropped .5 with my 3600 and it replaced an 11" 2800 from LPE...They drive great and hit hard...I had mine restalled last year from 3600 to 4000 and holy crap does it feel nice...

Very nice times! Not trying to say anything bad but, isnt the mph a little low? I would think that with a time of 12.2 it would be around 110 to 112? Any correction is much appreciated! and again, GREAT TIMES!!!

If you have a heavy car and don’t plan on strip use I would go with the 3200 (I had 255 MT streets and I couldn’t hook from a dead stop until 2nd on the street with long tubes and a tune)

Thanks guys. Run was somewhere in the 900DA range, looking to get back to the track once it drops some more. We had the tire size dialed incorrectly that is fixed now so the 2-3 shift should be good now.
I thought so too. Car dynoed 332rwhp. I think the time is great for the trap.
Here is a video i found, not our car but pretty good idea of what it's like.

I have a Vig 3600 on my car (I used to have a 3200) the 3600 hits hard and is good for a DD I drove 4000 miles this summer no big trips just around town to work and back. I did notice the slip more than the 3200 but its not at all like my friends yank 4000!
