well.....there is always a debate over this, but heres a lil help. ask your self this.
what do i want the car to do?
How much money do i have? this should be #1
do you want launch like a muthr f$$ker o do i want a high stall and lower STR?

just look into your future plans about the car.....if you wanna go with the basic bolt-ons then a Vig3200-TCI3500. TCI has an awesome price and an awesome product. Vig is more expensive, but doesnt always mean better. I got a deal on mine and i am losing sleep at night anticipating how fast it is going to be in about 2 weeks

if you plan on going internals H/C you could use either of those stalls but might want to look into something a little but higher..

TCI ssf stall (3500) very good converter that puts down some good 60 FT times and is a blast to drive on the street.

I would go with the TCI SSF3500 or the PI Vig3200. Either converter will be great on the street and the track. You can not go wrong with either one.

Good morning,

Let me know if you are interested in a great streep/strip convertor. I have a midwest 3200 2.5str I will be selling very soon. It had great road manners no tranny problems what so ever. The best thing is the cost, unlike the vig and precision with the same qualities. It is literally brand new and can answer any questions you may have.
