RE: how big of stall with my set up?
i have a custom edge racing converter with a 3k stall and its not hard to drive. only difference i've noticed is it feels slow up until the stall speed. and yeah the car pushes at about 2500. i dont think a 3800 would be all that terrible to drive on the road.

you should be fine with a 3800.....we're about to put a 3500 in my friends whose I just told you had a 3000 in it
.....the 3000 that's in it now is way streetable..you don't even know it has a stall except when you wrap the throttle while cruising downtown

lock up is in aode's and 4r70w's
non lock up is in aod's
lock up refers to mechanical locking inside the converter to achieve a 1:1 direct drive, like a manual clutch and flywheel.
aod's are non locking, so that means, if you have a 3500 stall, and are cruising at 2300rpms, the converter is constantly slipping, the aode's lock the converter and rpms drop some and slippage is very minimal. a good trans cooler is needed for either and the aod will need a real good cooler to keep from killing the trans from excessive heat. a fin type cooler and fan would work great, and get a trans temp guage!
a high stall makes you feel like you have no power at part throttle, like you need to give it more gas to get moving, when u got wot, it really shines. i had a 3500 stall and that was fun, foot braking to 3k, o yea!
there are many variables to converter stall:
weight
rear gears/trans gearing/tire size
engine tq. and rpm profile, like cam/head/intake operating ranges/profiles
n/a, boost, or spray
somewhere around 3k would work, best performance contact either Edge racing or Precision Industries for a custom stall.
