Ordering TC soon: Vig or Yank
Most people don't have too much bad to say of either of these converters and I am going to order one soon-prolly within the week. I just saw today that tbyrnemotorsports.com has Yanks for almost the same price as Vigs. So would it be better to go with a Vig 3200 or a Yank 3200. The Yank says the STR is 2.00. I think that the STR on the Vig is 2.5 but I could very well be wrong about that. Any opinions? I'm still prolly going for the Vig, but I could go either way on this.

car MUST stay reliable for at least 3 more years to get me through school. I don't want to have to rebuild the **** so I wanted to go to a more conservative stall. Also-it's for my LS1 which is a daily driver more or less (except in the winter).

Do you plan to hit the track occasionally? For streetability and performance I would get a Yank SS converter or look at the TCI SSF(??) series (3500 or 3800). Do some searches for those and see what you come up with.

Have you concidered Midwest?
I know this is not what you're asking, but I have a Midwest 3000 stall, 2.5 str and I love it! The only reason I bring it up is because they are conciderably cheaper than the converters you are looking at and I've had nothing but good experience with mine. Just a thought.

I have a Yank SS3800 and I've driven a Vig 3200. The Yank feels much tighter than the Vig which is better for daily street driving. I think the Vig 3200 actually has a 2.0STR and the SS3800 has a 2.55STR. If you want quality and performance along with better road habits, get the Yank.

I went with a Midwest 3800/2.6, and I love it. I believe it was 450 to my door! I think if you put a 3200 in your car, you will wish you put a bigger stall in it. My car used to be kind of a dog when I stood on it at 40-50. Now it jumps right into the power band whenever you hit it. There's no way I'll ever put a smaller stall in!
