yup, like you said before precision industries (vigilante) converters are typically 400-500 over the rated stall.. this one will do 3200-3400..

I'm thinkin about stepping up to a 3800 or so.. we will see.. depends if I upgrade the cam or not.. the 3000 is great for my current setup tho.. managed a 1.68 at the badrap trackday on nittos.. seems like its laying down on the top end, not sure if its the converter or just my car.

I had a midwest in my t/a..3600/2.0 str b/c I ahd 3.73's..if you have 3.42's thats a bigger gear than the stock 3.23's I would go around 3200 on a ls1, you will be happy, yank, TCI, or midwest is the way to go, if you can get a deal on a yank do it or the other ones will be cheaper, and try to get a 9 in if you can, I had no problems daily driving mine when I ahd it, jsut other stuff broke on it instead lol
