I took this video a few weeks ago. It's not exactly normal driving, but its not WOT or hauling *** either. Just a decent accerlation video

Also, I'm not sure if it's just standard nomenclature to call it a 10.5" converter, but his is actually a 10.25" converter (258mm). I'm curious if the Vigilante stall is indeed 10.5" or 10.25". Another advantage to the CircleD I see is that he can stall it up to 3500 whereas I've read on here the Vig can only go up to 3000.

Once I get my truck up and running again I'll have more time to call PI and talk to them and see what they have to say.

There's one camp saying go no smaller than 10.5 and then there are several in here running 9.5 with no problems whatsoever. hmmmm...

With what you want out of your truck, I'd go with the 10.5" 3000 stall. For performance though I'd go with the 3200 9.5". If 12's are your goal with a stock cam you'll need the 9.5", better heads, and more compression.

Well I hauled a full bed full of cement bags (suspension was on the bump stops) all the way home (10-15 miles) with my high stall 9.5" and had no problems and it never even got hot.
