I have read alot on here about Vigilante converters running slow trap speeds or just being inefficient in general. Is this true? Does anybody have proof of this.

I want a converter for the GTO, but my main concern is to run good trap speeds and be good for highway rolls. I won't be going to the track every weekend, and I won't be running drag radials on the car all the time, so I am thinking I want a converter with an STR of 2.0 or lower. I know the higher STR makes the converter feel tighter, but I would give up some of the tightness for higher efficiency at high speeds and to run a good trap.

I like what I read about Yank, but damn they are expensive.
I thought alot about TCI, but I have had bad luck in the past with them, and I seem to read alot of threads on here about problems with TCI verters.

I really like my VIG
I have had a Yank and really didn't like The feeling that I had to Kiss their A$$
To get info .
I couldn't wait for them to move in the middle of race season to get my converter
I Just bought a Vigilante haven't ran it at the track yet but the MPH is only part of the equation
The ET IS WHAT WINS WITH THE HOLE SHOT
The lockup is perfect everytime and I haven't had any codes un like the Yank

I started with a Yank and will continue to use Yank. The Yank TC has always performed well and just ordered a SS4000. The SS series run $775 shipped and the Vig's aren't that much cheaper ($734 + shipping). The SS3600/2.50 sounds like a good candidate for your GTO. It performs like a 3600 but, drives like a 2800. These converters are very efficient since they use 21 blades. I never had a lock-up issues and no thrown codes either (Yank TT3000). The Vig is a good converter and was considering the Vig3600/2.50 at the time I ordered the SS4000/2.60.

I get to drive a lot of different combos, and the Vig feels tighter on the street, not as "slippy" as others I have driven. I use them, and mine will 60' about as well as anybody with the same stuff, and traps as well also. Really nice people to deal with. A lot of higher stall converters are very aggravating to drive everyday. I like the Vig drivability best. Never had a single problem with one.

Good luck, Ed

With a quiet exhaust and raised shift points you could pretty much convince people its a stock tc. Its decently tight on the street, however it doesn't show its efficieny untill 3k rpm, as with most converters.

I Just Had A Vig 2800 Installed In My Z. It Has A Str Or 2.5. Drives Almost Like Stock So Far So Good. No Check Engine Lights Or Drivability Issues. I Got The Shifts Firmed Up A Bit, But It Drives Fine.

Vig 3200 or Yank SS3600 are good choices, as stated.

My Vig 3200 performs flawlessly, all the time, everytime. Feels good on the street...and runs 11's w/DR's @ the local track.
