I'd go with the PS 4200. The YTP 4000 is great from a roll but for drag racing on the spray, the PS4200 would be better and it will feel a little tighter.

plus the 4000 will only stall 400rpm more than a vig3200.Yours is really like a 3600 stall now.

You should defiantly look at Yanks, nitrous/FI converters. IMO one of those would be a best choice, im not familiar with the cam specs so I want recommend a certian Verter. Seems like I wouldnt go with anything over 4200, that would be a lot to spray through. Good Luck

i'm not 100% sure on this because I don't know much about the N2O converters but cant you get like a PT4200E? I would give Mike @ Yank a call and see what he recommends. Will you be mainly looking for times on the nitrous, or would you also like to see good times NA? I know a guy with a PY3800 that is running good with it NA.

Best of all worlds!

How about the best of both worlds! I have several vettes pushing over 500rwhp that run 4500rpm stalls and can lock the TCC during WOT! Second if you like, but it really shines below the flash zone!
Zero TCC SLIP at 1000 eng rpm w/4500 rpm stall and 3 YEAR WARRANTY! That equates to NO HIGH TEMPS and FUEL ECONOMY (until a Mustang comes by...) You can cruize in 3rd @ 30mph @ 1500 eng rpm w/perf. gears! Add programming and things get real fun! Go WOT, it releases the TCC, backshifts, and flashes hard ! And yes the warranty applies for those that want to turn it on in second during WOT (we have transmissions that can hold it...)

This converter can hold the power (700rwhp at 5800ft!)http://www.vettepieces.com/dyno/dyno_rich_02.html
(getting traction is another issue!)

Stalls are custom built to your needs!

Well I would really like the car to run well on both prally better on motor bc I dont use n2o that much.When the car had the stock cam the 3200 vig felt perfect,but since the cam swap it just feels so tight and small.It does not even seem to flash up high at all.
