I agree, my SS is a basic bolt-on car (major mods are the 'verter and LTs) and I have a Vig3600. So far I have been able to cut a 1.74 on my first time out with the Vig3600. I still need to go out and get "used" to it. I am sure I can cut a mid/low 1.6 60's with my ET Streets at my track (rarely prepped). I'd do it.

I ran 12.3's with all bolt on's LS6 intake and a Vig 3600. It never seemed to loose for me. I originally had the 3200 then I had it upgraded as well. Get the 3600 u won't be sorry.

I have it along with LT's, nittos, 3.23's, and all the little bolt ons..

she cut 1.58 to 1.64 60's on average with the nittos at 20PSI and ran 11.9-12.1 average. It takes pratice with nittos cause if you flash it off the line you will light them up. I had to roll into the throttle! Im guessing on et streets it would have pulled low 1.5's WOT'ing off the line <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

the converter will seem loose at first if you have never had a stall before. But give it a week and you're in heaven! Heck, mine feels like stock stall since ive had the stall for about 2 years.

Now with the LS6 intake and 224 cam it feels FRICKEN AWESOME!!!!! midrange and topend pull rock!

ive only run once with the cam, but i forgot to raise my limiter to accommadate for the 6400 shift points. Babied off the line to a 1.8 and went 12.2@112.67 baning the limiter about 15times and letting off to get it to go from 2-3 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I guess 11.9's on a 1.8(before cam on a 1.8 I would only go 12.5@109!! if i can cut a 1.58 again look out 11.5-6's <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

GET IT!!

I have to say, I have never heard anyone with a Vig 3600 say they didn`t like it. 98TAauto`s times are awsome and there are a few others running quick times with the lucky #7 pump! For $400,I`d do it.

But I would like to know how the vig3600 would have netted also. Yes the 4400 is probably the best of the best. But im guessing if more guys went with the 3600 you would see more on the top NA stock internal list <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

400 bucks is a awesome price.. get it and be happy <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

et streets will hold, but nittos are more of a challenge and can possibly save the rear a little longer(i think thats the case on mine)

also, if you go the cam route, its a awesome stall bescause with your limiter raised you will stay in the power band ALOT longer... 5600-6400 is ungodly(feels like a 50shot kicked in)

Well I just sent my VIG 2800 in to get restalled. I had originally decided on a 3200 but was in total debation in my head between the 3200 and 3600!!! I hadn't found anyone to comment on the 3600. So with that said thanks for this post. I just called and luckily they have not changed it yet. So I changed it to a 3600 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> , I guess it's better to hav etoo much stall than not enough in my book!!

Oh and I was cutting 1.7's with my VIG2800

For $400 bucks! Jump on it!

The Vig isn't a bad converter, if it wasn't for Yank, it's what I would run.

I run a vig3600 and have cut a few high 1.4 60fts with it. Best time being 11.32@119.1 with a 1.489 60ft all motor. Like someone said above its TOO loose for a power adder.

Putting a Vig 3200 in mine right now. I`m getting S2 heads / X1 cam, 12-bolt 3.73 . The reason I went 3200 is I`m also putting a 100 wet shot so it will flash a little higher when I spray Very streetable . I have 17x11`s on back with 315 Nitto`s- Little traction problem still <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

I cut mid 1.8 60ft times on STREET TIRES with my vig 3200. I just roll into it until 30 mph and floor it.
