Default Pro-Torque Converters?

Hey guys and gals,

I was planning on buying a Vigilante 2800 but a Pro-Torque poped up in the classifieds. Anyone have any experience with these. Everyone that i have spoke with so far has praised the Vig. but i havn't heard much on the Pro-Torque.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Dave, I have a 3000 yank. With et streets I can get 1.70' 60 ft times and occasionally a high 1.6 I talked to Dave at Yank performance and he said with a hotcam and a low gear 4.09 that I should have more like a 3600-4000. I do know my 3000 is flashing to about 2300-2400 rpm and im doing 4mph at 2700-2800 rpms according to my datamaster scans. It was explained to me that the stall speed is more or less a suggested speed. The actual stall speed is dependent on the torque your car is making, weight, and gear ratios. I dont know if this info is of any use to you but I wanted to throw it out there to you anyways.
