Default Circle d 3200 to edge 3800? Input pleasE

Considering going to a 3800 edge converter over my circle D 3200, will i pick any time up at the track?

The circle D does great as a DD, will the 3800 be too much?

My best time with setup in sig is 12.6@109. 1.8 60'

I'm not really sure, maybe .2-.4 tenths depending on conditions...

My question is how the hell you only ran a 12.6 with all the mods in your sig

If your looking for something a little more aggressive I see no reason not to make the jump to the 3800 Edge. Ive ran several of their converters over the years with great success.

Do you know which 3200 CDS you have? Is is a 278mm? Stepping up to a 3800 245mm will make a big difference. Let me know if you need any help.

The 3200 was the 278 one I believe, it's the $400 one. I really like it and would recommend it for anybody who daily drives their car.

I picked up the edge tonight, hopefully it's not too much to daily drive on, but luckily my commute is 3.5 miles

@TEXZ28LS1, if I hadn't gotten such a good deal on the Edge that's what I would have gotten. Chris and everyone at Circle D have been very helpful the few times I've had questions.

I'd pick a Circle D over an Edge any day. You get what you pay for, and that's where I will leave this.

Perhaps I should clarify: I did not say buy the most expensive converter out there. I know some shops who use Edge and like them. I have also seen issues with them personally. So that's where my statement comes from.

I would take an Edge over a Circle-D anyday.

Andre does good work. I have quite a few customers running his stuff very successfully.

You don't "ALWAYS" get what you pay for, and I'll leave it at that.

Cool, glad you are happy with the 245mm. Wish it was a Circle D, but I understand your situation.
