WWYD? 2800 or 3200 stall?

I just bought a Vigilante 2800 stall to mate with my hotcam/stealthram combo. The converter still has one free restall so I have my eye on a 3200. The car is a weekend cruiser only. What would you put in, the 2800 or the 3200?

i think you will benefit more with the 3200,that specific cam needs at least a 2600 to be content,so 3200 it would be quite happy....

Best bet is to call up the converter company and tell the what you have under the hood. Theyll get you exactly what you need.

So it's pretty much unanimous on the 3200. I will ask PI for their opinion also when the time comes. Thanks for the input guys.

If you've got some heads that will breathe then the 3200 should be OK.

No, but I'm glad you associate the name with security rather than a tree hugger. I run Pro Topline 180cc heads, my combo really starts to pull at 3000. Right now I pull low 1.9 60fts dead hooking on street tires with my cheap SLP 2400 stall. I hope to get a nice gain from the upgrade.
