Default What are you running for a converter?

I'm between buying a TCI Super Streetfigher 3500 and a Vigilante 3600. Anyone have any results? 00 Coupe w/ 2.73 gears. Thanks!

Default Vigilante

Vigilante period..
I have a 3800 Vigilante and its great ,if you don't like send it back for a re-stall
It tales a while to get used to it
for a daily driver I would get the 2800.
You can e-mail with more questions.
Torque converters are like the cam in you car ,what do you want to do.

I had a TCI 3000 in my SS silverado, that thing ate transmissions like nobodies business. It was real fast, honestly faster than my Z and my old V but if its your everyday car, go with something else...

Yank or Vig, stay away from the TCI. We have a VIG in a 2005 C6 with about 650HP going thru it and it loves the abuse!
