My dad is using a PTS with good results both in his DD and the stageII car. I have a vigillante lockup and it makes noise especially when coasting. It makes the car sound like a POS with the rattling it makes. I was always searching for loose flywheel and convertor bolts to cure the problem. Didn't find the problem until I had to go with a stock convertor while the Vigillante was getting some work done. The performance is fine.
The Vig is a incredibly well build converter. Lack of "true" stall speeds to fit a given application sucks. Their way of having a 0 or 6 pump leaves alot to be desired IMO.They seem to be to loose or to tight.
On the other hand... I had great luck with the PTS 9/11 I had in the past. I would put my $$$ in this on over the Vig.

I've run both these converters in many different cars over the years.
With (4) different 9x11's in (4) different cars they could never get the stall correct in any of them. It was always wayyyyy too high, which meant wayyyy too inefficient until lock-up. The fastest car of these was mid/high-10's @ 126mph and let's just say the lock-up clutches didn't last very long at all!! Needless to say I don't use them anymore, since they never "worked" right for a 13-sec. car nor a 10-sec. car... for me.
Having run both 0-pump and 6-pump Vigilante's in multiple cars as well, the only down side is the noise they make at idle in park/neutral. Other than that they have worked flawless for me, many times over.

I have had a tcs 9/11 converter and vigilante. The vigilante wins hands down on wot slippage locked compared to the tcs unit. The tcs will start slipping locked in 3rd at over 500 rwhp, the viglante won't but i had to remove the vigilante becuase the noise is not nice for a street car in my opinon. They can get rid of the noise now, for an extra $600-700 though.
Melissa's street car only went 10.27 @ 132 on it

I have a 5-disk Vigilante. My 9/11 quit working after about 5 or 6k miles. First the lockup clutch went and then the stator split. I had maybe 20 1/4-mile runs on it, locking it about half the time.
