Pressition industries Vigilante dual plates doubles their holding friction area to hold whaever you throw are them, and have the anti balooning future as well,as a coating paint to show if has been overheated....

I am running a vigilante 3200 and i have had no problems. Its been in my car for almost 3 years now. No issues at all, and drives very much like stock and hits pretty good.

I want to step up to a 4k stall, but i am not sure which one to go with.

My FTI works great, pulls 1.5x 60's on stock suspension/gearing and it drives nice around town. Locks up when it's supposed to, haven't had any issues with it.

We run Circle D converters in all of our cars. My daily driver and my son's daily driver both run low 11s and they are mild smal 222 cam set ups. There are a lot of F-bodys in our area with much more radical combos that can't hang with us at the track. I really feel that our converter sets us apart from the rest.

I placed #2 in points at our local track running my 2001 Camaro bracket car and I feel like it is the most consistent car there. We run a Circle D 230mm in it with a Circle D powerglide transmission.

My son won "King of the Track" last year running a Circle D 2E in his Camaro. (He goes by truckahaulic on here)

My husband tried several other brand converters when we bought our first Camaro. Now we have 4 Camaros and only run Circle D Specialties converters.

Like someone above said, your choice of converter can make you or break you so don't cheap out in the converter department.

I thought this thread would be much more one sided than this, I'm impressed.

However most people in here have some personal experience and have researched and been around a while, not just repeating things they see typed on the net.
