Vig 3200 shouldn't be compared to other manufacturer's 3200. It's more like 3500-3600. Vig 2800 is 3000-3200.

glad to see you like it. I ordered the vig 3200 about two weeks ago and I'm still waiting for it to come in.

See,....Im try'n to decide. I have 1K to mess arround with and im debating between 1.) 3200-3600 stall conv
2.) a ZEX nitrous system
3.) LT's w/ Y-pipe

If the Vig3200 does stall higher than I will prob stick with it then, Im pretty sure Im getting a cam swapped in around the same time was recommended a tr224 but will prob go bigger than that . I think im gonna hold off on the 3:73s and I might add a 100- 125 shot. Can the Vig handle the nitrious?(im sure it can as much as it is but just thought id ask), and if the 10bolt ever breaks I will just get the 3:73s with the new Rear.

WS6Rampage, If you got around a 1K to mess with you can prob pick 2 out of the 3 u just listed. The Pacesetter LTs and ORY sell right at $500 for the package together. and I know the ZEX kit is around $500 for the kit and most torque converts are around $500 BRANDS like TCI,Fuddle, and Edge. I dont have my converter yet but I know your gonna need a Tranny cooler thats another $50-60, and from what I hear the Trans Go shift kit is good to install when you do the torque converter its around $100 extra.

how is the tightness on this converter and what is your gearing?

i'm trying to gauge what is tighter, a vig converter or a yank converter of same performance. i may want to go converter in the future but i never want to change my 2.73's for fuel, traction and parts-friendliness (i.e. the 10-bolt) reasons. i'd likely get a 3500 vig or yank 3600. i mean, they're around the same damn price range, why skimp over $50 at this point?

my Vig 3600 w/lockup should be here tomorrow, I'll definitly post up what I think about it. I'll get a good video of the guage cluster cruising and driving like all hell to give you an idea of flash, slip etc. I know I would have liked to have known a little more detail before I bought one. It's a big purchase and how it will react on the street is a big deal, you don't want pull the tranny and experiment 2-3 times with diff stalls. It should go in thurs and the tune is on the 2nd.

Yeah, a half car from a roll with a 6spd is very respectable, especially since you ran it up to 105. Now if you would have gone from a dead stop i'd be willing to bet you would've won.

^ what kind of tires were you running when you ran that 12.6?

I have a Yank 3500 2.5 STR and it is very tight.....when I first got it in and drove it I wrote in that it took about 2200 to get moving and 2500 to stay with traffic. Now that I am used to it, I can creep around in the neighborhood at 1500 and stay below 2000 going to work. I drive 2 miles and never go over 35. In 3rd it locks between 25-30 MPH and in 4th it locks at 35. It still takes about 2500 to stay with traffic. When cruising around at 35-40 MPH and going WOT it flashes to 4200-4500 RPM's and shift extension is 5100. I lost 1-2 MPG. Now I am talking to Yank about restalling to 4K. I would go with a 3600 or bigger. Very streetable and after a week or so, it feels normal. I can't imagine driving a stock stalled car now.

the Vig3200 is a great all around stall. I've outgrown it now that i have h/c and a 12 bolt but i've put 24k daily driven/cruised/street raced/tarck raced miles on it without one single issue. If you are considering this converter for a daily driver/strip car you can't go wrong. If you want to hook at the track you will need sticky tires. I managed 1.80 my first time out with street tires. 1.70 with headers and sticky tires.

With my b&m cooler i've had no trans temp issues. I never installed a temp guage as it was not needed. Accoring to my scanner it would only reach 180 ish hot lapping at the track.

DO the converter first!! Of course, those mods can help you alot too, but its all about getting off the line, if your off the line first, you have a waaaay better chance of winning than playing catch up with the zex kit or LT;s, add the stall, then the LTs and nitrous, and you'll be killin people

some crappy bald nittos on 16" firebird rims that a local club member gave to me, they hooked just fine for me

The vig3200 is a well balance converter. I've been able to manage numerous 1.5s 60fts with good weather & during the heat of the summer low 1.6s all day long. This is with alot of supporting mods, Prostars, MT drs, Skinneys, !power steering, & all the bmr stuff. There are better race converters out there but the vig3200 does just fine.

Have fun.

my vig flashes at 3800 with my mods (bolt ons, cam, tune). best 60ft (several consistent ones) were 1.66's with a dead hook one after the other on 17" dr's. I am limited in the 60ft by gearing and/or raceweight (which is 3700lbs). I'm hoping to better those numbers when i try running the car with the heads. The STR is only a 2.17 so it won't hit as hard as say a yank ss3600 or a yank ss3800.

having my vig 2800 reburned to 3200 by john goebel should I do 3400 or 3500?? MODS IN SIG

Gun5, i haven't been overly impressed with the step from the vig3200 to vig3600 results i've seen on here. The vig3200 has a 94% efficiency rating compared to 90% for the 3600 (which if i remember is around an actual 4400 stall).
