RE: High stall torque converter?
So what would be a good stall for me? I plan on swapping out my 3.73's with 4.10's and running slicks on the track. I still want to drive it on the streets every now and then, but I want to slap on the M/T's and run a respectable 1/4 mile time. I was figuring about 3800 would be a good spot to be.

RE: High stall torque converter?
Alan knows that stock stall is nearly 2800 and I am surprised he would recommend that unless you have financial constraints and are not getting a 10" but a reworked stock converter. Nothing less than the 10" that can handle being locked in 2nd gear and Alan's 3300-3400rpm stall which he told me I would not feel any difference from stock.
JD how is it when floored? I was afraid I would need to start driving a set of DR's and that was one reason I backed off. Thanks, mark

How is the stock stall 2800? The tires start to go at about 18-1900.

Persdonally I would not waist my money on anything below 3200 rpm, are you aware of how a lock up converter works?

Because that's not you measure stall, it simply does not work that way.
