Yes sir, thankyou for the lesson. I now have my facts straight.

 

Didnt mean to sound pissy guess I could have worded my post a bit better

 

I would also go for the converter because it is more fun as mentioned before and it's more seat of the pants

 

I just figured since it was higher in the rpms=more hp. Not that the converter ADD's hp. But it keeps it higher in the powerband

Thats what "I" thought.

 

i recently installed a vigilante 3200 and it made a big difference. it takes off alot harder. i would say get the converter but thats just my opinion.

 

well said, converters help 60ft which improves ET. I converter can give you a few mph, but thats because you are leaving the line harder. You dont get those mph from HP like some think. With a cam, you ET might not drop but you would see 3-4mph through the trap gains do to 25-40hp being gained

these smaller 2600-3000 stalls arent as loose as the big ones you you dont loose much power.. I believe they are 95-97% efficient? My vig3600 in my car sukked from a roll since it ate HP, but it was A BEAST off the line. The yank 3000 in my truck feels about the same as it did with just the cam from 50 punches.. so I know its pretty efficient. Just dont by a verter to roll race people. By a converter to blow off their doors from a light Then they have to try and catch up lol

 

why do ya'll say it won't help from a roll?

1. it will help put you in the powerband from the get-go, no matter what rpm you start at. when you have a stall you can go from almost any mph roll.

2. the better shift extension will help by keeping the truck in the powerband instead of dropping too far.

 

ive had a stall in my LS1 for 6 years.. it doesnt help hardly any from a roll. It will help you get into your power band, but the verter isnt gving you HP though. From a roll, its about HP and not Tq

I can run 11.1-3's all day in MY TA.. but go out and race a 12.0 LS1 from a roll and stay dead even.

if you think it helps, then by all means it does.. If you want to race from a roll, then by a stick truck If you read the efficency on these verters when you order, you will notice that they are anywhere from 86-98% efficient. Meaning they eat up HP up top. You need more HP to make up for its sukking up on top end. Converters are the best mod you can do I think, but they are meant for helping you get that 60ft down

 

I'd say converter. Or you could be like me and have the converter sitting on the floor waiting on long tubes because I have to redo my exhaust since its custom duals welded all the way back and can't get in there to put the converter in.
