Not enough info here. Believe me talk to the guys there. Tell them what you want are what you will end up with after you are done. Then they will put the correct converter in the car for you. They did me on my car....

Exactly what I'm using. RPM 3:42 gears, RPM Level IV - A4 and a Yank SS3200.

I have an A4 with 3.42 gears and a Yank SS3600. I take it to the track a lot (250 passes a year) and really like it. Hard to remember what a stock converter was like.

Call Yank and tell them this info
HP (rear wheels)
gear ratio
intentions for car

They will give you good advice.

My A4 has 3:42's, stock trans, and a Yank 2800 stall. Converter looseness is barely noticeable and produces a hell of a kick. My $0.02

I'm pitting in 3.42 and a Yank SS3200, Can't wait to feel the difference, I hear this is a very nice setup for street, and some track time!

What mods do the think may cause that? Could that possibly be addressed in the trans tune? Shift/downshift point tuning may help.

Cheers

YANK 2800 - 3200

I am running the ss3200 stall and couldn't be happier with it (A4, 3.42, Yank 3200). The street behavior is astounding, minimal parking lot slip very easy to drive. It is a tight converter and works well on the street and drags

Talk with Dave @ YANK and he'll set you up

Thanks,Matt

mostly the cam..... and compression ratio I'm told by my tuner.... good tune though.... I have no problem with how it's set up or what it stalls at, hits hard and lots of fun too

Vigilante stalls usually actually stall higher than what they're rated at. I would suspect that the 2800 Vigilante will actually stall at about 3000-3100, or so. I have no idea why they rate them as they do. I would recommend a Yank. They stall where they're rated at and are extremely tight. They are a great piece of machinery, IMHO.

This is first time that I have heard anything negative about Yank!!!!! I wonder if it's because RPM sells PI's? things to make you go hmmmmm!!

And no you are not stuck with there stall, They just don't want to install someones stall that is not theres, Look up past threads about Yanks and count the negetive remarks! Make sure you do your homework before you buy!
