RE: 4000 Stall?
ORIGINAL: fordfanboy
Some really good advice in this thread[sm=hail.gif]
Listen to the consensus is my advice. 4000 is way too high on a DD IMO. If you are going with a turbo, then depnding on the size and what trim exhaust housing, you just may need a high stall for the track to get that thing to spool in less than forever but in these cases it is for track monsters and not DD.
For example my friend David Beyer runs a 5000 stall with his turbo set-up cause he runs a big turbo and runs 9.50's but his is definitely NOT a street car.
Since you plan on going with a turbo in the future, I would plan ahead now and like it was pointed out, you don't want a big stall on a turbo or TS on the street but also want the 'happy medium' if you plan on going to the track as well.
I would consider a stall in the 3000-3500 range and give whoever you are getting the converter all the specs on what you plan on having on the car mod wise and let them tell you what would be best for you cause every set-up is unique and the stall is CRUCIAL for a set-up to get the most out of it IMO.

RE: 4000 Stall?
If it helps to save my tranny once I go FI I'm thinking a 2800-3200, but wouldnt go much higher because it is my dd and I dont plan on doing mad crazy power, but as fordfanboy said in another thread never say never 
My questions aboutt hat would be what in the area of cost parts/labor for an install like that? I like the explanations in this thread I think I finally understand what slippage feels like(that bogged down feeling at lower RPMs before you press on the gas enough to downshift). This would mean that bogged down feeling would be somewhat worse with the higher stall...
