Vig3200 or SY3500 I am either considering getting the vig3200 or the SY3500. I am not sure which one would be the best in my situation. This is my daily driver so I can't have it too loose. I do a lot of my racing on the street. I don't go to the track but maybe 2 or 3 times a year. Please help me decide which one would be best with my 3.42's.
Thanks

Re: Vig3200 or SY3500 For stoplight racing and racing from a roll on normal street tires, the SY 3500 is hard to beat.
If you do street racing on heated nittos/ET Streets at reduced tire pressure, the Vig 3200 will be faster.
Looseness will be pretty similar; Vig might be a hair tighter

Re: Vig3200 or SY3500 I have run both of these converters in my TA. I would say that if you are looking for street performance the SY3500 would be my choice. It hits softer than the Vig3200. I ran the SY with 3.73's and with nittos the car hooked awsome on the street. It is a nice converter at the track if you only run nittos or street tires. I have only had the Vig3200 in my car for about 2 months but I can tell you it hits much harder than the SY. It is a pain to launch with nittos without spinning at the track. The vig does feel tighter for everyday driving than the SY.
hope this help.

Re: Vig3200 or SY3500 I don't plan on running nitto's for everyday driving so I guess I am leaning towards the SY3500, but I am not positive yet. How many rpm's will I see during standard driving around town until it locks up? I do have one of the "quieter" exhausts but I know it will be lounder. A lot of my street racing is from a roll so I won't be heating the tires up.
What kind of ET's could I expect with one of these convertors?

Re: Vig3200 or SY3500 I ran a 12.69 @106 with a 1.69 60 foot with an SY3500, air lid, catback, and BFG DRs on stock 3.23 gears. I turned about 2300rpm to come off a light normally keeping with traffic.
Now in addition I have a cam, tuning, and ORY plus a better flowing catback, and I haven’t run it at the track yet but my low end is lazier. I have to turn about 2500rpm to come off a light now.
