I'm running a 3200 Vig w/5disk option. It simply kicks ***...and I wouldn't dream of running anything else.

I think they have the best prices around, call them up and ask them for prices while your in the game
Okay people,
I'm sold by Vigi

I'll still call dynamicconverters on monday, but I think I already made up my mind.

thanks everyone

is "seth" saying he blew up a yank?
.... look at how they mount! the solid feet are the way to go.
As far as I know the vigilante uses stock style feet.
Does he no your not supposed to hold it at the stall for extended periods of time?!?

yeah but i see stoplight racers do it at redlights for 10-15 seconds right next to me while waiting for a green and thats plenty to blow up a converter. The onlt one I ever saw blown up from about 10 seconds was a LT-1 impala but I'm suprised with all of the un-informed people out there modding cars you dont see alot mmore of it.

oh I already blew a $300 torco one www.torcoconverter.com
and I didn't even had to stall the POS to make fail. I just drove my car every day to school. I figure, paying for another rebuild everytime 2 months after I get a new TC it's not worth it .

I odered a Vigilante a few hours ago.. can't wait
