I would say 3200-3400, but I am sure others will have an opinion.

I had great luck with vigilante #0 (2800-3000 behind a stock LT1) cutting 1.6 sec 60' on nittos

others say a little higher ... 3200-3600
and some like Yank

be honest about what you want out of the car & what mods you are planning in the near future

not a bad deal, my mechanic always tells me he goes with Edge converters because from his experience not mine they are just as decent and are quiet a bit cheaper, but we will have to see once i get mine in cause i will most likely go with one of them as i dont have a boat load of money ha and ill need a cooler and then to have it all installed.

I've heard alot of bad things about TCI converters. I've heard good things too but everyone has always said to never cheap out on a converter. I'm ordering a Yank SS3600 next week along with my heads and cam. Just lookin out for ya.
