Thanks Pete

Sweet! What stall did you get? Are there any other mods to be done while you are there? Like is there any gain with a lighter flex plate for the auto?

The car is a DD so it's 2500 stall. Not sure about the flex plate, it is meant for a 383 build since that's what i'm installing. The Cam is a Crane 2040 and i'm pairing it with 1.6 roller rockers, also Crane. With the high flow velocity on the intake, paired up with the Dart heads(180) it'll make lotsa torque.

You definately can't beat the product or the pricing and Pete's reputation both here and on other forums speaks for itself

You cannot take anything away from Vigilante. Strong product and reputation. They make a dmn fine converter. They also use a billet back. This billet back is responsible for a couple hundred dollars of the price.
We feel that the billet back is overkill 99% of the time. If truley needed, we can add it as well. My own car does not have the billet back.
By using the standard back and a custom stiffening ring, the durability is great, as is the lower price.
