I was planning on a buying a vigilante. Just one of those things.
There torqe multiplication is 2.5.
Can you give any reasons why the yank is somewhat better or about the same...... just getting a special price.
I am very interested.
Thanks

Dennis, I personally think that the Yank converters are a much higher quality converter than the vigilante's. We used to use both makes of converters and due to the lack of quality with the Vig's, we have now made Yank are only choice for the street/strip cars. The vig's were having a problem locking up and then if they did lock up they would go in and out of lock up at low speeds and jerk the cars around. That was no good and it happened quite a few times to use and our customers. With the Yanks we have NEVER had a problem. If you get a Yank you will be happy with it.
Thanks

Phil, we are talking about two seperate problems. The problems we were having with the vig's were internal issues in the converter, simple tuning would not fix them. As far as the Yanks we have yet to have a unlocking issue or any issues that I can think of. Thanks for your input though.
