Default help with converter choice...
well my fuddle kick the bucket after only about 3k miles and seems they went out of business. so now i have to buy a new converter. im thinking between either yank or vig. i want something with good street manners in about a 3600 stall. i heard that yanks are a little tighter than the vig so it would be a littler better to drive with right? let me know what you guys think would be best. thanks

I would say go with yank. I have a yank ss4000, which is a great converter. But if you want to go lower then a ss3600 has your name all over it. They get great numbers! Can't go wrong with yank

vig 3200 converter is for you because it really stalls at 3600.

i have used tci converters on 3 cars and never had problems.
