I have a Vig 3000 and love it. My only beef with them is that it heats up more than the Yank. I'm torn between a free stall speed change vs getting a Yank when the new motor goes in.

I have had one from both companies. I had a PI vig. 3200 in my old car and i absolutely loved that thing. The car I have now has a Yank SS3600 and I like it alot too but my car doesnt 60' like it did with the vig in it. The cars were almost identical mod wise but The vig was just nasty outta the hole even though it was a 3200 vs the yank 3600. So my vote went for the vig. 3600. I think you will be happy with either IMO. The vigs tend to be a little looser that advertised also. I just bought a lvl 2 trans and 4000 stall from performabuilt so well see how that performs 60' wise. P. S. Ill probably be selling my yank s3600 here soon.

I had both,the VIG 3600 I had was NASTY and 60ft'd better than my orig. Yank TP4200
But I then had Yank rework my TP4200 and it was as good or even alittle better on the big end,it didnt hit as hard on the bottem but the car still ET'd and MPH'd so I left it alone,it was also alittle tighter feeling too..

Those 2 verters were awesome so for me to 1 would be impossible...

I like the fact that yank converters seem to deliver the advertised stall speed for the combo you order for. I don't like that this leads to broken 4l65 output shafts. I have never used a vig, so ??

I think both make great converters.
Its like asking which is better a camaro or a TA. It comes down to personial preference.
Both are great.

I keep the Vig 2800 to 3000 rpm in stock, and they do tend to stall a little higher. We've had problems with people driving through Yank converters, which is why we sell and use the Vigilante converters. Everyone has their opinions, and of course we have ours...

Performabuilt first you would not be sorry if you wanted a high stall performance converter that was still streetable

get a vigilante - if you're in the midwest, you can order it through speedinc and see it in a few days.

I had my Vig 4000 restalled to 3200 and the DD driving improved considerably but still felt loose at 45 mph.

I recently replaced my toasted A4 with a Performabuilt LVL 3 along with a new Yank PY 3400 (an FI convertor for my Procharged ATI D1SC 346).

Comparing the two - the Yank drives much better in the city - and doesn't feel as loose as the Vig and hits hard when I hammer it.

Both are good convertors but I like the Yank better than the Vig.

What do you guys think of Fuddle? I know they used to be considered pretty good, but now I'm hearing some not so good things about them. I don't have the money for the Yank/Vig right now, but the Fuddles are very well priced right now. The Performance and HP/Street converters are priced at $385/$535 right now. So I would have enough to get one of those if they are still good.


I had a fuddle 3600(2.2) for the money it;s a great converter but you get what you pay for. Switching to yank and or Vig there is a big difference. Me and a buddy both had fuddles and switched to a yank and he went with Vig. Both preformed better. but im not knocking fuddle for $450. its worth that in my opinion.
