Default Yank or Vig
Guys I am in the market for a new converter, but I can't decide which one to go with. I am currently running a Vig but it is comming to a slow death. I am planning on putting a little juice through it and the motor already makes 420 rwhp if that make a difference. Post up your preference.

Thanks for the suggestion guys, but in the tranny section for every thread that says Vig there is another one that says Yank. That is why I put one here in the Texas Section.
