Default Circle D converter?

My car is my DD i already have Headers, a ypipe and lid/cutout sitting on my kitchen table to be installed. Im going to get it tuned so why not add a stall. These giys are local and ive seen great reviews on this stall. Just wondering if its the best bang for your buck stall?

For a DD on a budget that's a great stall. It'll knock .4 off your et and still drive very well go with the 3200 version

Indeed^ Pretty perfect stall for the mods listed. Id go 3200 while im at it. Unless you are planning on camming the car I would call Chris and have him give you a advise.

I have had that stall in a 3200 and, for its purpose, it is a great stall. I will tell you, however, that I wished I went bigger about a month or two after putting it in. It is so small you really can't tell it's there until you mash it and it will flash to about 3k.

If you really want to maintain stock driveability and just want a little bump in performance, this is perfect. If you're like most guys modding your car and you don't care to sacrifice some of the stock feel, you'll want more. Only person that knows who you are is you. The good thing is that this stall is pretty popular, especially among the LS truck crowd so it will be easy to get rid of if you want something else down the road.

As for Circle D as a company, you couldn't ask for better service. Chris is the man and answered several of my questions in multiple phone conversations. If I were still auto and looking for another stall, I would not hesitate to go back to a Circle D.
