Lots of great sponsors here that make great converters. Look into Circle D, Yank, FTI converters.

Go with atleast a 3600 stall. Good all around size. Since its not your daily driver, consider stepping up to a 4000 stall.

FYI, I have a vigilante 3200 stall. I have a Circle D 5C 4000-4200 stall ready to replace it.

Its mostly a drag car so go with 4000. I would go with a ss4000, pt4000, or something of that type from another company. Best thing to do is call up a couple vendors and see what they are telling you. Then decide between them all.

We have a 4000 stall we do that is absolutely fabulous at the track. It is our 245mm 2E. It is a little loose down low to help with staging and is very efficient up top. Would love to go over your setup and needs to make sure we are matching a converter with your combo. Just shoot me an Ask Chris or give me a call at the shop.

I have run the Circle D 2C and the 4C+, the 4C was fun as hell to drive on motor. Circle D all the way.
