I am running a 3200 Vig with a 11.4 time slip. I think you will be fine with either one.

I'm running the TCS 4200. It's very streetable, but since your spraying you might want to go with a 3800. I just switched from a VIG2800. Both are great converters. Best thing to do is call TCS and talk to them. They are very helpful.

I just installed a TCS 3500 (2.5str) in my car today. The stall was right on at 3500 rpms. But you should just give Derek at TCS a call he was a big help.

My 4200 has an STR of 2.7, I can roll into it and come out pretty damn hard on drag radials. You just have to get a feel for it. Best thing to do is practice launching on a back road.

All I have to say is TCS(derek) takes care of it customers.I'm floored with the great customer service of this company.They act like they have known you for years and do anything to help a guy out.Where I live this kind of service is unheard of.I would recommend TCS and it's staff to anybody,cant beat the product/service for the price.
