Does anyone in the Aurora,Il. area have a car with either of these stalls(3200 or 3600) in them? I would like to ride in your car to see how they feel, I've heard stories of the car rolling back on hills, which I really don't want to happen. I live in a town with lots of hills. Will I need a tune after the converter install? j

 

I live in california and have a yank 4000 and never have the problem of it rolling back.

 

You won't have problems with it rolling back. I've got a PT4400 and on level ground, when I release the brakes, it'll creep forward on its own. And yes, you will need a tune to take full advantage of the converter....namely, adjusting the shift points, lock-up characteristics and perhaps shift firmness.

 

Well if you are stuck with just these two options, keep in mind that the Vigs are under rated for our LS1s. The Vig 3200 is closer to a 3700-3800 and a Vig 3600 is more like a 4000-4200 depending on your power level. I think they are rated using the LT1 HP/TQ. Unless you go with a stall over 4000, I don't think rolling back will be an issue.

Between those two choices, I'd have to lean towards the Yank 3600.

It is a great idea to find someone with one and drive it first. A converter will change the whole feel of the car.

i have a vig 4000 and it will roll back on steep hills, but in most normal situations it will either sit there or creep forward.

Keep in mind, mine being a vig its more like a 4400 stall than anything else.

 

I have a Vig 3200 and I'm very happy with it. The weather is starting to change around here so I hope to get a good time out of the car soon.

 

I love my 3 disc Vig. Had several Yanks, but they were either too loose on the spray (PT4000) or too tight off (SS3600). My driveway is moderately steep, but I only need 1500 rpm to climb it. On level ground, it'll move smartly @ idle.

 

Vig here

Think about this in your selection process. Vig offers a free restall within 2 years of original purchase.

 

what kind of car do you drive? I live in Aurora but my car isnt stalled...but my friends cars was...until he blew up his trans

 

Vig offers a free restall.....Yank offers a full 3-year warranty. You can't go wrong either way.

 

I drive a Black NHRA formula it has LT, lid, magna flow exhaust, and 3.23 gear. Is there anyone in my area willing to help me out with a ride in your LS1?

Alright Ls1 owners no one took me up on my offer to ride in a call with a stall. Thanks, I'm going to go with a 2800 converter from Monster. I will let Ls1 know how things go.

So you start a thread asking about Yank or Vig, but then you go with Monster (whoever Monster is) ? :ba ng:

 

I read that Monster is a Dacco converter. Not really familiar with either of them. I will say that I have many customers that run a Yank or a Vig from PI. Both of which are very good converters and remember you get what you pay for. Maybe you should start a thread is anyone running a Dacco converter. Vince

 

LOL...Good luck.

 

Im going to be running a 3disc 3600 vig in a couple weeks. I live in Chicago if you want to come down for a ride. Ive ran an 4000ss yank and a 3k vig. For my applications at those time they both worked great.

 

I would like to set up a time to come down to ride in your car, and thanks for the offer. I would be willing to pay for the gas we ride out. J

 

I've had 2 Vig's in 2 different cars. Not a single complaint. Worth the extra $.

 

Vig or Yank ONLY!! I have had both...stay with one of them.

 

I am on a budget and the monster stall did have some very good reviews and great price but after thinking about my trans U R correct that I will be going with either a vig or yank because they are proven stalls. Now my question is what size stall to go with? I keep hearing about going to small 2800 vs 3200. My car is for the street only DD. It only has LT's, Lid and cat back system. It will never see the track.
