Just a heads up with Vigilante convertors, They stall 400rpm higher then stated. i.e. 3200 is really a 3600 stall. Great convertor. A few of my friends run them and have had great success with them. IMO I think it's a waste going lower then a 3200 stall but that's just me. Good luck!

I run a Yank 3500 and would not go to a lower stall.

I can't say how they are now, but when I got mine it was thru a forum tuner working on my car. They did the ordering of a 4000 stall to replace my ProTorque 3200 and did the install. When they removed the trans some time later to upgrade it, I copied the serial number (they said they did not do it at installation time) and called Vig up. The 4000 stall unit, which I was charged $1000 for, was actually a 2800 according to them, and they would do nothing about it, that is why I put in the TCS piece.
