Default Stall help

What do you guys suggest the best stall is for me. The heads are stock heads ported and decked .020. 55cc chambers with 2.0"/1.6" valves. I have cc306, 1.6rr and bolt ons. I have found a few that i think would work good. One is a a 4k lock up stall that they think is a TCI brand. Im wasnt sure if 4k whould be too much or not? The 2nd on i found is a 3500 vigalante not sure if its lock up or not. And another one is a yank ss3600 but is kind of out of the price range. I dont drive the car very much so streetability isnt a big issue. I plan on taking it to the track some this year. I know yank is a good converter and vigalante. Not sure about the TCI i havent read anything about them.

Save up, because the Yank 3600 is what I would recommend out of the three you mentioned.
Either Yank, Vig, or Edge is the brand I would go with.

I'd stay away from the TCI because they are junk. Both the 3500 Vig and SS3600 you are looking at would work great. I personally have ran the SS3600 with my heads/cam car and I loved that stall. I now run the Yank PT4000 and it is killer at the track!

I probably should have mentioned that is 1st post. But yeah i was thinking about going with 4.10 gear. So you dont think 4k will be ok. First time dealing with stall's and wasnt sure how much i should go with with my setup.

I had the TCI street fighter converter in my car and then upgraded to a Circle-D 4c, there is no comparison between the two. The car performed better is everyway with the Circle-D stall.

the 3600 vig should act more like a 38-3900 as ive heard, my 3000 vig feels very similar to the SS3600 that was in my ls1 camaro with far less power then this car.

my votes the vig 3600

well if the guy with the vig will return my message ill probably get that one since he is local and it seems like a good deal to me. But if not i may just break down and get a yank and be done with it.

Had a Vig 3400 and now a SS3600 Yank and love it. The Yank drives better all around.
