Default Need help selecting TQ. Converter

Car is 93 Lt-1 with Ported Lt-1 heads, and 74219 Accel Cam, exhaust etc and 150 on Nitrous
Who has the best source for a Vigilante Tq. Converter and what stall speed you recommend? Goal is tens on juice... 3500 stall?
How does the lock up switch connection on third gear works?
Thanks!

Well, with that cam, I would say that a 3500 RPM stall would be a little too high. Remember, we use the stall just to access the power band at an earlier time. Your power band should not be that high that you have to have a 3500 stall. I would say that a 3000 to 3200 would be closer to what you want. The Vigilante is an AWESOME converter. You will love it when you get it.
We can definitly hook you up on the Vigilante converters.
Thanks,

PS If your heads are worth a darn, 10's on juice should be a shoe in...
