I've heard good things about their multidisc 4000. It may not be free for the multidisc upgrade, but it might be worth it. I'm sure others with this converter will chime in.

Plan on eventually down the road putting N2O on the car. But not for a while.

I've always heard that the stall on the Vig. are about 400 under-rated, is this a pretty good rule of thumb? I mean would a Vig. 3600 be more like a 4000?

I have the Vig3600 and it stalls around 4200 stock internals w/just bolt ons.
It could stall a little higher with a cam and bolt-ons.
Not a very happy convertor for anything over a 100(rwhp) shot of spray.
(Atleast for my car anyway) too loose.

You will be best with a 4000-4400 with that cam making good power in the high RPM rangs. Vig is goofie with their rating's. I still cant figure out why.
Remember back in the days when companies like Rockford fosgate, PPI, Lanzar used to WAY underrate their amp's for competion reasons. This made since.
Why Vig does this is beyond me?????????????????????????
