Default which converter?

for those of you who run maggies on there trucks, what is the best converter
to run? I know i dont want to go real high of a stall and waste all of the low end power, but is there something better then stock? should i be wanting to lock it at wot or not? my thoughts were either a sc2800 yank or 2600vig, would either of these be the way to go? I also see some people run tt2600, or tt3000 with power adders, will they hold up? thanks for any suggestions.

Both the Yank SC2800 (what I run) and the Vig 3-disc converters are top choice. The other ones are more affordable but not recommended with high power levels.

I'd go with a 258mm circle D or vig myself.

I was told the Yank TT would be all right as long as you don't lock the TCC on a
WOT run. Am I misinformed?

It's great if you just have cam and bolt ons. But if your running a Maggie, its not recommended. If you contact Yank they'll probably tell you the same thing.

To keep up with everything use the New Posts button at the top of the page. When you created this there was already a thread open discussing some different converters. It won't answer all your questions but it does have some great information in it.
