Default Converter size

I am planning on getting a converter in the future, I was wondering, with headers, true duals, lid, filter, pulley, 3.73's, which would be a good streetable converter, that would drop about .5 tenths in the quarter? I recently posted a question similar to this but that was without some of the mods. I am thinking along the lines of 3000 to 3200? Whatcha think? Thanks ahead!

Bigger, yet I don't think a converter will drop .5 sec all by it self? Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Go with a 3600 or 3800. I got a 3600 vig if want to buy one.

yes a converter is known to drop .5
a vig3200 is a perfect street converter. (a vig3200 i more like 3600)

A TCI3500 is also a very good converter for the money.

A vig3600 may be a little to much to consider streetable. you could get it re-stalled tho

my vig 3200 true stalls at 3800 rpm. it launches hard as all hell and has excellent street manners. it doesn't feel like driving a stocker but its not sloppy and annoying either. i highly recommend it for a daily driven type car.

cant beat TCI SSF3500 for the money and the service in a lightly modded car. You will see .5 ET gains easily with traction
