Default vig3200 vs. ST3500

I can't decide which converter choice would be better. The vig3200 is actually around a 3800 stall but the str is smaller than the yank. Which one would be better at the track? hits harder? Which is better from a roll? I suppose right now it's a street car so I need some performance from a roll but I still will go to the track a few times. thanks
Chris

How about going with a ST3800. Warning, better have some sticky tires!

The Vig 3200 and ST3500 are pretty identical in 60' ability. I was running a Vig 3200 against my friend's ST3500 the same day at the same track. We were both on ET Streets, and we even had the same year car. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> The only difference was that I had headers and ORP, and she didn't. We were both in the 1.77-1.78 60' range that day. It was in the mid-to-high 80's, FWIW. I think the Vig 3200 is an EXCELLENT street/strip converter that nets a nice gain while still being very streetable. It shaved off .6 for me in the 1/4 over the stock converter. I had it in the car for ~7,500 miles, and it was problem-free the entire time. The person that bought it from me has had no complaints since they bought it. I think there's a GP going on in the sponsor forum on the Vig converters...FYI.

vig3200... cant beat the price and performance <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

great all around converter that will hook just fine with nittos

she really stalls to like 3500-3600 though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

or just get the vig3600 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> love mine
