I have a stock L98 with a built TH700 R4 with a 2800 Vigilante, I know I am gonna mod the car more so I kinda wish I got a 3200. The nice thing about Vigilantes is you have a 2 year period to get them restalled (go to a bigger or smaller stall) for free. You just have to send it back to them and they do all the work.

And when it comes back its like brand new.

I wish I had the money to go with a Vigilante stall when I was putting my transmission together. But I was strictly low budget. And no Vig converter is "low budget" Mine consisted of an S10 stall converter. :lala:

I'm thinking that 2800 will be fine, maybe even too little... what is your powerband for the motor?
