Default Vigilante vs Yank?

Are Vigilante torque converters that much better than Yank? I'm showing about a $200.00 dollar difference. I just finished to mods on my car and the only thing that I went cheap on is the stall. I bought a RevMaxx 3200 stall with anti balloon plate and carbon lockup upgrades. This is my first true hotrod so I had never driven a car with a stall before. Not sure that I like it. Also I think that my tune is off. The car is not shifting before it hits the rev limiter. Could this have anything to do with the stall? Long story short is I may want to switch to a Vigilante or a Yank.

hitting the limiter is likely a tuning issue. Both Yank and Vig make excellent products IMO.
