Well, in my opinion if the trannys out and your already having thoughts of going bigger, now is the perfect time to do it rather than having to pull it all apart again later. Plus, if you decide to go with a bigger cam in the future, you'll have the converter to support it. I'm planning on a TCI 4400 over the spring/summer to go with my TSP MS3. 4mula is right about the vig being underrated, but I think upgrading now is the logical thing to do. But if you think the 224 will be the only cam you'll have, then I agree with 4mula that it's fine. Just My .02

i say you should try a YANK PT4200 OR 4400 for your setup, it will give you the best results for your setup. TCI or Vig either one don't come anywhere close to the YANK verters. get a YANK PT4200 and be done with it.

that's cool man...i'd personally go with the PT4200 from Yank for your setup, you wouldn't regret it at all. the PT converters are the best all out drag verters around for a 4L60E

no more PT4200, if you want a PT get a 4000, if you had a huge cam then the 4400 would be better but not with 3.23 gears IMO. If you go Vig i wouldnt go over a 3600, 3600+ I would definately go with a YANK With a small cam like you have and 3.23 gears I would go 3500-3800 stall.

i would definatly upgrade to atleast 3.42 gears also, i went from 3.23 to 3.42 with the same stall and dropped .45 in the 1/4. went from 3.42 to 4.10 and it got plain nasty.

i have the vig3600 and with 3.23's and a 224 cam it ran 11.5@117 which wasnt to shabby for 4 passes. I ordered a vig3600 about 4 years ago and i know everyone says they stall higher than rated. But on atap mine flashes to 3650-3700.. so it wasnt that much higher than rated.

If I started over again, i'd maybe try a PT4000 with it since I think that yanks have a tad more MPH. But the vigs a FREAK off the line
