mods are in my sig...i drive it almost only on the street..just a daily driven car for weekend fun... and racin on the street...whatta you recommend? i was thinking like 18-2400...is that a good rpm? also what is a good brand to get and what size 9" 12"??

RamAir95TA

Don't bother with anything less than a 3200.

Yank and Vigilante are top notch.

Mystery Bird

I agree with RamAir95TA, I have a 3000 and barely notice it and want to have it restalled to a 3600.

ok well i want it to be street-able..........im looking at a hughes 2500... also i dont want to kill my gas mileage..... it will be a street only car that will be driven alot

Get Atleast a 3000 stall.

RamAir95TA

I ran a 3600 in my daily driver for years and had no complaints. A 2500 stall is hardly better than stock.

z28beast

what kind of gas mileage did u get?

Mystery Bird

With the mods in my sig. I get low 20's on the highway.

RamAir95TA

About the same. It totally depends on your right foot. Make sure whatever you get is a lock-up.

chevy94c

I would go 3600.

z28beast

what are your opinions on it??


i went with the 2500 because i want the best gas mileage and least heat possible

There aren't any antiballooning plates, so I hope you never plan on running nitrous. You're going to get extra heat no matter what. With you mods and a higher stall, your tranny will not last very long. Might get some miles out of it if you install a tranny cooler. Mine lasted 30 miles on a heads/cam/3200 stall setup and it didn't have any obvious problems beforehand.

I'm sure you'll enjoy having the extra stall speed though, it's not going to be the strongest converter, but it'll do the job for what you want it for.

RamAir95TA

You made a poor choice, IMO. Why even ask for advice? You should have just stayed with a stock stall.

Anytime you install a higher stall you should always install a new transmission cooler hooked in series with the stock one. That goes without saying.

You've got a cammed LT1 - performance is taking a back seat to gas mileage? That I don't quite understand. Good luck anyway.

This about sums it up. I agree nothing less then 3000 stall.

Choice in converters is subjective from person to person. I personally have had 3,600 stall converters and HATED them on the street, I've also had ran a few 2,500 stalls that were perfect for a daily driver. So you can't bash someone for their personal preference.

I think the 2500 he choice is a fantastic choice for someone who doesn't want to sacrifice drivability , in fact my favorite street converter I ever ran was very similar to the one he posted. While it might not be the fastest down the strip, it also wont make him hate driving the car. Nothing like daily driving in bumper to bumper traffic with a 3,600 stall converter To each their own.
