Which brand Converter??

Well this winter/spring im doing LE2 heads and GM-847 cam. Im still debating a 100 shot of nitrous yet. But I need to know what converter to get. I want it in the range between 3600-4000. This car is a street car that sees the track maybe 2 or 3 times a summer. Ive read alot of horror stories about fuddle racing stalls. But have heards alot of good things about them also. Another thing im worried about with Fuddle are their hours they work, and they dont return my phone calls. So right off the bat im not real happy with them, but will use them if they make a great coverter. There is also Vig. and Yank. So between the 3 which would you choose? And at what stall speed?

most people will tell your to get a Vig. I just got one, 3000 stall. Its sitting in my room so i cant say how it is yet, but i know I'll be happy with it. The vig is supposed to be very efficient, meaning it will drive on the street well.

Personally I had a real bad experience with Fuddle. But I've been very happy so far with my Yank.

Yank and Precision Industries are the favorites. If I get my tranny rebuilt by http://www.cahallperformancetransmissions.com/ I will have him throw in a ProTorque converter as well. For those that have them, they have had nothing but good things to say.

ive already talked to cpt, but my transmission isnt ready to be rebuilt yet . as for the torque converters, ive done some more looking around, and alot of guys switch from the vig. to the yank, and are glad they made the swap. maybe i should just go with a yank also. any idea on which speed i should use? alot of people say dont be afraid to go big? im just scared i wont like the way the car feels on the street. and ive never driven a stalled car before. keep the suggestions comming!
