that depends on what you want out of it. are you looking for good numbers at the track or do you mostly run on the streets? what other mods do you have done or plan to do in the future...what will also determine how much stall you would want too. For good track times find the STOCK INTERNAL LIST in the drag racing forum. You can see how certain cars did with specific converters. Since I have only had Vig's in my car I would have to recommend them. After a year or so no tranny or rear end problems...but I did end up going to a 3600 after having a 3200 for about 6 months, and I can say I am much happier with the performace (ET & 60') of the 3600 over the 3200 that I had...but that was just me, there are plently of others out there (FASTR A4-Priscilla) who did awesome with her 3200. I cannot vouch for YANK, but I hear great things about there higher stall converters (TP series). Good Luck!

From my experience YANKs usually have better top-end and can E.T just as good as Vig....

right now i have the K&N FIPK, Flowmaters exhaust and SLP MAF and 2.73 gears. When I get the converter I'm gonna get 3.73 gears done the same day. It's my daily driver, but I go to the track every weekend so I want a converter that gonna launch pretty good but be efficent when during highway and city driving if its possible.

i have always had sucess with Yank convertors. they hit real hard and are sweet from a roll. i say if you can muster it up, the new SS3800 convertor would be awesome. talk to Mike@Yank.
