Default Converters?

What would you pick and why? A Vig 3200 or a Tci 3500? From what ive found on here the Vig is rated lower than it really is and thats why I think id like the 3200. Thankx in advance for any and all replys.

In actuality, the Vig 3200 is about a 3500-3600. So the desired stalls themselves are actually very close.

I think the Vig3200 is one of best converter out there, it drives nice & can 60' with the big boys. You really can't tell when it hits the tach just flys through 3-4k. My old converter Yank StL3200 would fly up to 3200 & hit so hard it would blow the tires off. I have been beating on this converter for over a year now with no issues 50+ runs.

Good luck, im sure the tci is a good convert too.
My vote is the Vig

Well im pretty sure i'll order the Vig this week maybe tomorrow. Ive read that the flexplate in the newer cars can be weak, so will the TCI Flexplate work with the Vig converter? I would think it would but just want to be sure before ordering. Thankx
