Default Question about Vigilante and nos!

I have a ls1 with bolt ons! I have a 4000 vigilante stall in my car! I want to spray a 150 shot of nos! Alot of people say it won't work that a yank 3600 will be better? They say the 4000 vigilante has no anti ballooning plates! Will this work or not! Thanks for all your help!

I would love to know as well!!! I posted something very similar in another thread
https://ls1tech.com/forums/automatic-transmission/748871-whos-gone-3200-vig-3600-vig-vice-versa-why-results-n2o-users.html

Seems like the vigs don't get any love for N2O around here

Maybe Vince or Performabuilt can chime in on this?

I told you over and over you would blow through that vigilante but you never listen. Id go with any of the yank SS converters probably a 3500 or somthing maybe 3000. It wont hit/pull anything up top like your loose vigilante did on the motor b/c its alot tighter converter but you wont blow through the converter on the spray

I personally feel that a 4000 stall is way to high for what you are trying to do with it. I normally suggest a 3200-3600 and I personally prefer the 3200. I do believe that Vig does come with the ballooning plate. Give PI a call to verify this and if you bought your converter new get it restalled. No offence against Yank but I have had much better luck with the Vig in my units. I have had a couple lockup clutch issues with others recently but not in the Vig. Just my opinion from what I have seen first hand lately. Maybe they got a bad batch of clutch linings. I don't know. Vince

The Vigilante comes with the anti ballooning plate. As far as the NOS, I agree with Vince the lower stall 3,200rpm will work better. I have been a distributor for PI industries for about 9 years, and have only had a few complaints in all those years, so I would highly recommend them.

Vig converters have a billet front cover.

The vig's usually flash higher than they are advertised, So your 4000 stall might flash to 4300 NA which would make it flash super high with N20. I agree with everyone here that it will blow threw. If you don't want to make any sacrifice NA you could go with a yank SS4000 converter which will take a 150 shot all day long and still be efficient.
