Well it was acting lose and didn't hit as hard as i would of liked at the track. So i sent it to Greg and he worked his magic and my 60ft's went from 1.70 to 1.58 on motor and my mph went from 98-99 to 103-104. The car even drives better because the converter seems to tighten up once in 3rd gear and under normal driving.

Agreed that both are great companies, but my Circle D 3400 stall gained me .6 in the 1/4 and .3 in 60ft with shitty nitto 275 555r's. Ohh and I gained 2 mph in the 1/4

Yank SS4000, No track times but it definately pulls harder on the big end than my Vig 3200. Shift extension is roughly 5500 IIRC, Im in Afghanistan so its been a while since Ive been in the car. Never driven a circle d but my buddy had Chris spec him a converter for his N20 setup and it went 1.42 60ft off the foot brake. Call either of them talk to them and decide who you feel better about going with.
