Default Best STREET Converter For Nitrous...

For the track I will most definantly use ET Streets (my rear end is safe right? Or is a Moser in order?), on the street I'd run Nitto DRs on the stock 16" tires, and if I ever did spray it wouldn't be til around the middle of second. My next batch of mods includes a good nitrous converter, a NOS 5177 dry kit (maybe 100 shot), good tires, and MAYBE MAC headers and ORP (I'll run a bottle of nitrous through the car once every two or three weeks, possibly more at teh beginning <img src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" border="0" alt="[devil]" /> But I'm sure there will be times where I'll go a few weeks without a bottle in the car). I also have 2.73 gears and I want my car to have good street manners when not on the juice. So, should I go with something like the Yank Extreme 3600 (I think thats right) or would a regular old S3500 or Vig3200 do the trick? Thanks for any help.

Definitely the Vigilante 2800. I've heard nothing but good things about this converter w/nitrous on the streets.

For the small shot you're talking about running, get a GOOD N/A converter like a Yank ST3500 or Vig 3200. Only if you start running a 175 shot or more do you need a Pro Yank. You'll be wanting to upgrade the Vig2800...it's too tight for real street racing. That's why I'm so high on the ST3500. Its top-end efficiency on-motor translates to more rwhp on the spray too. Something to think about.

PYE 3400 will have very good street manners with your 2.73 gears. It will have less pull from a roll than the ST 3500, but should have a tighter feel.
