Ditto....they are both great converters. I've run three Yanks and had zero issues with them. Just kept going bigger!

I have one from West Coast converters in my 4l60e. There is a HUGE price difference, but can you fell the difference?

from all the searches i have done, it seems the yank are more popular for strip use, and the vigilante for street use.. im going with a vig 3200 since my car is a street car.

a stall is the one part on a vehicle that i would not go used on. if anything is wrong with it your tranny is going with it. if you do buy used i would suggest having it checked out.

is one considered more efficient? for example, does one rob more power at higher speeds?

its kind of like the reverse of the coming elections, youd ask "which of the candidates is the bigger piece of ****". 1000 different people would give their opinions and it would average out. just do like i did and flip a coin, kind of let destiny choose for you.

3 different Yanks for me. Yanks are pretty tight around town. I have used the SS3200, and the SS3600. Currently using a PY3400. Nothing but positive results. Dave is a great guy to deal with also.
