Vig or Yank only. Are you going to spray in the future? If so may want to consider that. I git a vig 3200 and with spray it stalls about 3800. Combo is everything!

Why not ask Brett and Lloyd then talk it over with the converter manufacturer of your choice. Yank and Vig are good, personally I like Edge, butwould not tell you the other two are bad by any means.

Best bet is to ask Brett and Loyd. They know alot more about your setup then we do and could give you a much better answer then us.

I've also heard very good things about Fuddle, you may want to give them a call and see what they can do for you. Plus you really can't beat there price, and I know they are of good quality, and good people to work with. Make some calls, weigh your options... no rush, the perfect setup is the key. No one wants to order a converter, and not be happy with it.

Good Luck :-)
