If all you want is high 1.5s, the TCI 3500 could get you there. I ran 1.61 with stock gears, NO weight reduction done to the car, and internally STOCK engine, on drag radials.

...Actually, your Vig 3000 should easily get you there (actually stalls to about 3800 I think.) It sounds like you have a traction problem.

I was thinking the same thing Colonel. How well is the car biting the track. When you launch do you feel any slippage at the wheels or in the tranny itself?

Not really. I stall at 1500 and smash it. Ive always wanted to stall more than that but people usually tell me the Vig likes it at 1500. I have stock suspension but I have

Wolfe Torque Arm
Subframe Connectors
Eibach 1.5 Lowering Springs ON ORDER!

What should I set the pressure at with 26X11.5X16 MT ET Streets? What should I stall at with this 3000?

What about when I get the 4000?

Please help guys I cut 12.0's with high 1.70's to low 1.80's

It bites OK with stock suspension, No tranny slippage and I dont feel the tires spinning. What do u think I should stall the 3000 at? 4000?

The Vig 3600 is want you want if you have a free restall or you want to stay in the Vig line.

A TCS 4000 or 4200, or a Yank TP 4400 will give you the results you are loking for.

You want your converter stall speed 500 rpm below peak torque. You need to put your car on a dyno with the converter locked and determine your peak torque before deciding on a stall speed.
