.... What stall speed are you looking for ? ... Lock-up ? ..... I have a 9.5" Vigilante 2800 lock-up in my car now and like it but I need more stall ... I have a Yank SS 3600 going in soon , also with locking clutch ... both have billet bodies and are favorites with the C5 and F-body crowds ... pricey though ...

I have a Yank 3600 in the 96GS, and a 2400 Circle D in my Lightning. I've been very happy with both.

Edge for me. $350 directly from Edge. You can get them for about $25 less if you shop around.

Which one of these things is not like the other?
TCI and B&M in my opinion are not in the same league as Edge.
Edge belongs grouped with Vigilante.

Yeah I ended up going with an edge mild street performance. I like the fact they build it and don't just have it ready to ship. Tci and b&m just seemed garbage compared to edge.
