Default Vigilante and Nitrious Question?

Im leaning towards a 3200stall vigilante, but heard the vig robs more horsepower to the wheels than other converters like yank anybody know if thats true. Im also thinking of a 100 or 125 shot of nitrious, guy at thunder said car can handle it, What do you guys think.Right now mods are LTpacesetters and ORY,LS6,portTB,K/N FIPKand Corsa cat. best run so far was a 13.2.I will be getting a Dyno Tune after the Stall and Trans GO kit. Any information would be appreciated.

Vig 3200 is the best converter I have found and I've gone through about a dozen different brands and stall speeds. Get it, you will never regret it.

I run a 7.17 w 1.50 60' in the 1/8th with mac mids, Vig 3200, auburn pro posi, ET DRs, and 100 shot. I loved that converter it was bad *** from a dig. I haven't had a chance to run my multi-disc 3600 at the track yet but it's a little loose on the street.

dont worry about dyno numbers. as long as it hauls ***** at the track, people with higher numbers will eat their words. would you rather have your car dyno 480 at the wheels, then when you take it to the track, first shot of nitrous and you slip up to the rev limiter and blow up, or dyno 450 and skull drag the guy next to you with more power?

i think you shoudl stay away from Zex nitrous systems. they are probably the most straight forward and easy kits for beginners but are by far not the best.
