What are your plans for the car and most importantly, what kind of tires/suspension are you going to be running?

On a street car, if you can hook up, go with a 3000-3300 stall. I just got my 4.10's in myself, and I want to stall it, but I have to first do some traction mods so I will be able to hook up. I'm going to go for a 3200 or so myself.

I dont think you will like anything higher than 3500 on the street . I got mine from PI & it was worth every penny . they are the best IMO . call them , tell them what you have& what youwant & they will hook you up . you will also need a trans cooler .

+1 for not going over 3500 for a street car, but I think at least a 3000. I hear many people say they wish they went higher, and I personally don't want to make that mistake. Around a 3000 would be good though.

What's your setup blstoff?

as far as trans stuff? I have a PI 3000 stall TC , B&M SuperCooler , trans-go shift kit ,aluminum drive shaft& I did a j-mod . oh , & synthetic fluid . did you want my engine mods too?

Build the converter according to your planned mods and order it at about 700 rpms below your peak tq rpm. P.I. is a reputable company as is www.bc-automotive.com and several others. The converter should be no less than 3500 for a N/A build, but for boosted cars can be anywhere from 3000-4000+ depending on rather its for a twinscrew, centri or turbo car. Dont settle for a 3000 stall just because everyone else has it, get one that makes best use or your trq curve...my 3600-3800 is perfect and IS NOT TOO MUCH for the strret/DD car. U will need DR's after and some suspension tweaks as well.
