Let me correct myself, I was thinking of the old ST series (not stealth) and the SS3600 is a 2.5 and the 3800-4000 is 2.6....sorry for the incorrect #s

The 2800 isn't a bad converter... but everyone I've known with one, upgraded or had it restalled ($$$).

Your going to wish you listened to him, there is a reason he has over 10,000 posts, and a ton of them are about torque converters and which one is the best for me type of answers

VIG 3200 here and no regrets, I've had a TCI 3500 before but that is another story.
So the least I've ever had is the 3500 (VIG flashes at 3600). Very driveable, no issues yet.

I've been very happy with my Vig 2800. It's taken me into the 11's and is not even noticable to me and others who have driven my car when driving normal. But I have 3.73 gears which helps take the looseness out of a converter. Will I go bigger.... probably
