vigilante: 2800 stall. it will run you about 700-750 bones but you also have a free return change of stall. and they are worth the cost!!

You'll pick up more with the convertor than you will with the gears, unless you have something like 2.73's. Go with the convertor first, and 2800 is a good stall to start with.
