Yank/ Vig 3600
im debating between the 2. i plan on going with X1 230/227 cam. which would be more suited for a daily driver street car? it will never see the track. i want something, that will be nice and tight when driving around to where it seems as though i dont have a stall. which would be better quality? who has actually ran both? any pros and cons?

i love the vigilante. i had the 3600 and then went to a fuddle 3800... going back to vig. ive had other no name converters but they all sucked hard.
232/232 .600 cam... vigilante is the only one to throw my car into the sweet spot every time. felt the best

i totally agree. i really wanted to run a 3200 at the biggest. but everybody keeps saying go bigger, and bigger so i figure go 3600. but thats what some sponsors said. just go 3200 since it will be tighter and that since ill be driving around town and everything else.

Sorry, I know it doesn't answer your quesiton about which brand to go with. Both are great companies, but I vote Yank.
EDIT: Wow, a couple years have passed since I originally posted in this thread and the SS4000 came and went. I now run a PT4400 which puts my last two converters to shame (ST3500, SS4000). Three Yanks, all performed flawlessly.....Yank still has my vote .

Yank must have a dozen or so different 3500-range
converters. The SS line seems (from reading) to be
one of the better suited to the street but depending
on your style of driving and setup there are quite a
few others that might be more suited. You ought to
discuss it with them directly if you haven't. From the
things I see, you ought to compare the Vig3600 to a
higher stall like 3800 or so, from whoever else. The
3200 Vig is more like a 3500.

personally i say Yank all the way
vig underrated big
the vig 3200 is Very similar to the yank 3600
personally ive driven a Yank 3500 quite a bit and i LOVE how it felt around town, locks up real nice @ 40mph or so and cruises nicely
atfirst i was very hesistant about stalling big (i live in NY & drive 20,000 a year)
so i was considering the yank 3200.... after driving many different stalled f-bodys
im DEAD set on the Yank SS 4000
goodluck with it, you'll be happy either way

The Vig 3600 is going to be more like a Yank SS4000. For your purposes, I would definitely go with the Yank SS3600. Or if you want to be even more conservative, the SS3200. A friend has that converter and it feels identical to my TCI 3000 - very tight around town and a joy to drive.

My first stall was the TCI SSF 3500, after a VERY short period of time, I did not even feel like I had an aftermarket stall in there. I just recently went with a yank ss4000. Yank all the way! Great stalls.

i was about to order a vigilante for my car but wasn't sure about the stall i'd need. i read some stuff on PI's page and it said more than 3000 isnt good for the street. mine is going to be street but i still want it to hookup nice. i have a cc305 cam and a pro built trans. if that makes a difference. and also 17''s which i never realized were a problem for traction but they did spin a lot on me.
