Default How bad is gas mileage with a TC?

I was just curious how much worse my gas mileage would be if I got a stall converter? Currently, I have a 94 Z28 with bolt ons. My car has the stock 3:23's. So, I was thinking about getting a 3200. What do you guys think? What kind should I get? I want the most reliable.

I put a P.I Vigi 3200 in mine about 4 years ago, daily drove the car for about two years with it and saw no real change in gas milage, locks up on the high way, really cant notice it untill you rip on it. Drives like stock except it doesnt want to pull forward as much when its at idle which you get used to after about a day. My car also has 3.23s, great mod, wont hurt driveability at all, performance gains are also awesome, with the stall, cold air and cat back my LT1 ran 8.5@80 on a 1.86, on street tires, 17s all around, sway bar in

3200 would be perfect, just go with a good name brand Vig or Fuddle. TRUST ME. I am dealing with a nightmare with my shitty local stall....
