Default Vig 3600 question

I've got a Vig 3600 and I was wondering what the quickest anyone has gone with this converter in the 1/4.

In good air this past January the car ran a best of 11.56 @117 with a 1.60 60' on BFG Drag Radials..Its a head and cam car with a race weight of 3740 LBS..

I've run the converter now for over 2 years and havn't had any problems with it..

My buddy ran an 11.8 with it.
100 NOS shot
no other big mods, I think maybe just a lid....Also he hasn't been tuned yet, so there is more potential

I went 11.72 @ 114 with this convertor in a 3700# cam only car w/ no tuning and 3.42 gears..... I really liked the convertor.... I have a TH400 w/ a yank 4200 and the vig was much more fun to drive

Its a great converter but the stall speed is not correct, it actually stalls to 4300 I think. Should be a great preformer. Good Luck

11.14 on a 1.47 60ft at 122.98 ALL MOTOR!!!
I'd say a Lucky #7 is pretty good

i think it is so funny how everytime i see a post about the Vig3600 people say it flash stalls to over 4k. the most we saw in my bolt-on car was 3800. The best I ran with this converter was 1.56 60' 11.71 @ 114.46 with 3250 raceweight and -1500 DA. Not a bad converter but it's not the best for the top end.
