Default need to order asap, yank or vig?

if i go with the yank, it's going to be the ss3600 (245mm 2.5str)

if i go with the vig, i'm thinking of the 3200 (9.5 single disc) b/c i hear they are underated.

does anyone happen to know the str on the vig converter? b/c i can't find it, lol...

i'm torn between these two, they are both the same price but you do get a free restall with the vig.

let me know your experiences with them and what not. thanks for the help.

If I were to by a vig it'd be a 3 or 5 disc verter.

But I've had 2 Yanks and one is in the truck now, no complaints. Only downfall is they aren't a sponsor here.

Hopefully you can read between the lines on my vote

Good luck Lance!!

I just hate how yanks are tighter then they rate them. We are alld oing this for performance. Why not overwhelm the customer! That is the only downfall I can think of.

You never hear any bad things coming from either converter.

I have a Yank, but I'm pulling it in favor of a PI. I haven't had any issues with it, but I want more. I originally bought it for all the wrong reasons, and I should have known better.

you got it with the weight of the trucks and tring to lock the verter it is killing the clutch.and i think this is most of the 4l60 problems give you a example goshawk i build his trans feb last year he sprayed the **** out of this thing and raced it ever chance he got now it is in slows trucks and he riping the road.he has a 3200 triple disc fuddle,slow had a 3200 single disc and his verter was wiped out when he came down in nov.

that is why all my verters are getting swaped to triple disc
