Get some sticky tires and rock & roll with the Yank Super Stock 3800. It's got the launch and top-end pull you're looking for without feeling excessively loose.

If your vig 2600 is relatively new, send it back for the free restall to a 3200. It will be a whole new ballgame.

Without a receipt they probably won't be able to help you out. Give them a call anyways. No harm in trying. If you do call, ask them what they would recommend for you to get. Or, give Derik at TCS a call. He will make you a great converter and build it to your exact specifications. I personally love dealing with him. TCS offers the best warranty, restalls, and customer service too.
Might be worth checking out!
