I'm running a Yank SS3600 w/3.42.The Yank is abit more expensive,but IMO worth it.Definately go w/tranny cooler and gauge(good insurance) when stalling your ride

I have been a distributor for PI's Vigilante, going on 5 years with no comebacks. That should give you a good idea of what works.

Yanks have worked well for me. The only one that I had problems with had an experimental clutch material (I knew this upfront) that developed chatter. Mike replaced my converter once the problem surfaced and was confirmed.
