Hello all I am A New Member To Ls1 Tech. I Have A 2002 Camaro Z28 A4 With 2.73 Gears. Would A Vig 2800 Be A Good Choice For Me. I Only Visit The Local Track A Few Times A Year. I Want To Maintan Good Driving Manners, But Have Just A Little More Punch Out The Hole. Car Is Stock With A Magnafow Muffler , And Whisper Lid. I have gone a best of 13.43 at 104 mph in the 1/4 with my basic setup. Any Advice Would Be Appreciated.

PI makes excelent converters. A lot of folks will tell you to step it up to a 3200, but if yours is just a driver i'd say go for the 2800. It'll be a huge improvement over the stock converter. I have a 3200 and anything under 40mph street tires are pretty useless

Get a bigger one or you will be sorry. I just stepped up from a 3000 to a 3800 and it is still a great daily driver IMHO.

Oh and if you want a Yank 3000TT with 2.5 STR PM me.

OK im new also at the stall converter stuff i had a built 5 speed in my iroc. So when you get a stall does it mean every single time you step on the gass the R's will hit w.e the stall is rated at? or that only apply's when your off the line and want to stall it with the brake?

No it will go higher but it kind of is dependent of a lot of things. The stock stall is like 1900 but you car starts moving BEFORE that right? (Brake vs. Flash stall) Here is a good read:

Thanks bro helped alot

No prob....

I was confused at first and worried to much about getting to big of a stall. Actually the 3000TT hits nicer down low but the new SS3800 feels better up top.

2800-3200 would be great. 2800 will feel like stock until you romp on it. 3200 may be a little much if you REALLY only go to the track a few times a year.

Thanks for the input. Its a daily driver so I will most likely get a Vig 2800 ,with 24000 trans cooler.

I believe the TT series has a 3.0 str which should hit real hard, the SS3600 has I believe a 2.25 str and the 3600-4000 has a 2.55 str, the slightly lower str does help when pounding on the gas with stock tires, and that **** does pull hard up top

i have a Vig. 2800 and absolutely love it. Eventually I will probably step up to a 3200, but i'm in no big hurry.

02 wife

Thanks For The Info.

So 2800 would be good for me? I read some were that its good to keep a stall about 4-500 R's from the power band, Im not even sure were mine starts! I think a 2800 sounds good though any advise?

I would get a 3200. I wouldnt wanna regret going bigger after its installed.

What Size Stall You Got?

IMHO, the Vig 3200 is the lowest speed stall anyone should go with in a LS1 powered car.

The 2800 isn't a bad converter... but everyone I've known with one, upgraded or had it restalled ($$$).

TWISTEDTA

Humm...ok, but keep in mind that i wanna drive this thing every day, and i probley wont even take to the track-maybe ones or twice. i just wanna have my car at peek performance withought it being too much ya know? Do any of you know were the power band kick's in or were the cam starts on these cars? Thanks guys

The 2800 stall made my car scream and had great driving manners. That being said, I was looking to have it restalled to 3200 before I decided to just put in an M6.

I'm going with the vig 2800. I'm running street tires and want good drivablity. Car goes into the shop in about 3 weeks for the verter and some other goodies as well .

Opps... I think your right! Thing does hit like a bi*ch which is surpizing on a 2.73 geared car. I could run NOTHING but DR's if I wanted traction.
