T/C question, (i ask alot of them) Im currently planning on going with a VIG 3600 with #7 pump. Everybody i speak to says this converter stalls at (around) 3600. Yanks website says "4300" other people I speak to say 3600-3800. Whats up with this? The car isn't a daily driver, and im looking for a 4000+ stall here. Is there a VIG 4000? but will it stall at 4000? I have until the 12th to make up my mind. (reason being Chuck @ FLP get back from vacation on the 12th) he will start building my Level IV trans then. The purpose of this post is to make up my mind on with T/C to go with. Drag/strip/steet is all this car will see, with maybe the ocational weekday drive. My current Stealth Thruster 3200 T/C feels WAY TO CLOSE to stock, I need something with ***** to go with my new FLP trans Thanks everyone...

Re: T/C question, (i ask alot of them) It will stall higher than 3600rpms.. don`t second guess yourself and just go with it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
I have a vig.3200 and wouldn`t mind more stall.

Re: T/C question, (i ask alot of them) The Vig 3600 will stall behind a stock 346 ci LS1 with "bolt-ons" around 4300 rpms. This is full stall. Almost impossible to check by mashing your foot on the floor and holding the brakes. I checked a bunch of cars with PI3600s using a Tranny Tricker. We put the car in 2nd or 3rd gear then mashed the throttle with the car at a dead stop and observed the maximum rpm on Autotap. The rpms held steady at 4300 rpms. That's your stall rating partner...live with it.
