Default Vig 3200, Will my mph go up or down?

Im thinking of adding a vig 3200 and was wondering with a hard launch will my mph increase or suffer? Also I was running some 26x11.5x16 et streets with headers,lid and cutout with stock converter. Could these tires be hurting my mph??? TIA

From my own experiences with that convertor, I lost 2 mph on nittos. I rigged a lockup switch and got the mph back though.

If you're comparing mph in the traps to a stock converter, then you should expect to see it increase 1-2 mph.

You should definitely see an increase in your MPH. I agree w/ Lane that the ET Streets are killing you w/ the stock converter. A set of DR's will do just fine. Bolt 'em back up for some nice 60' times when the converter is installed. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

I had about a 3 mph increase over Nitto's. I would think those Streets are killing you right now.. 26x10.50's slowed me down about a tenth in 1/8th mile compared to Nittos. Never ran them in the 1/4 with the stock converter.

Hang on to them for when you get your Vig. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
