WHICH TORQUE CONVERTER?? Ok, which one? Yank or Vigilante? I don't want to pick based on advertising, I want to pick based on other's experience and wisdom. Let me know. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: WHICH TORQUE CONVERTER?? This is the ? of all f-body crew. I went with a vig at first I've put down some 1.66 60' ft time this is a 4000 stall and it seems to me friend who have yanks pull up stairs better or stronger I'VE DECIDE TO GO TO A 4400 YANK. I think I'll like it better than my vig up stairs! Just my opinions I hope this helps

Re: WHICH TORQUE CONVERTER?? It really depends on your primary use of the vehicle. If street racing is in the plans on drag radials, I would go with a SY3500 for a daily driver. I personally have the Yank ST3500 and pull 1.58-1.61s with full 3550 weight, but you have to have some sticky tires. It hits HARD. It's in my waifes' daily driver and it's very streetable. Many others here prefer more stall like the PT4400. Vigs are good and have had excellent results also , but in my experience and from friends , they run a tad bit slower than the Yanks. I ahve heard very little about SES lights and converter related issues with the Vigs though. I hope this helps. Good luck!!

Re: WHICH TORQUE CONVERTER?? Ok. My goal is to improve my 60' and E/T times at the drag. But, this is my every day driver as well. Right now I have Kumho high perf tires and they're 16s. They have a **** load of tred. I'm going to be getting some slicks to put on for when I go to the track. I should be getting those in a couple of weeks. . . . what else? I want the one that hits the best, but is also not going to cause me major problems.
Thanks guys. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
