Default Converter for stocker

I want to buy 1 converter.. Not 2 or 3 to get it right.. Most likely staying with a stock cam, just want to maximize what I have and not go through multiple converters. 2800, 3200, 0r 3600? Which one for a stock engine? I assume they all lockup at 40 or so anyway, right.

i went with a vigilante 3800, it was alright with my mods then i went with 373 gears and it was great, you cant even tell i have a 3800 converter with the 373 gears, i say with the a6 and 256 gears your first gear is very close to my a4 with 373 gears so it should work great

Most likely...stock cam?
Define "stock engine"
What engine/trans?
What else to you plan to do?
Street only or street/strip?

You have nothing in your profile, so these questions need to be asked.

For a stock engine with stock gears go with the Yank SS3200.
