Which stall

[boosted soon]

Ok guys I'm trying to buy a new stall I picked up a nice c4 with brake and all but has a 4000 stall in it.. Will that 4000 be to much or will I be wasting my money

Alittle about my car
306 forged pistons
Rpm 2 heads and intake
Long tubes
24 pound injectors
70mm mass air
I got a nitrous kit I will run on it with about a 125 to 175 shot wet kit.
Car has 327 gears In it now..

This will be no trailer car inless it breaks.I want to be able to drive to all the local tracks around.. So what size and brand stall would you guys recommend.. And thanks

do some research on how a stall converter works, there is no such thing as a "4000 rpm stall", a converter's flash speed is based on a combination of the stator, impeller, and turbine. the combination of these parts plus your engine combination, cars weight, gear ratio's, etc. determine how the converter will function. the point i am making here is you need to go to a reputable converter shop (yank, pi, mikes trickshift), and they can determine based on your combo how to get the most efficient converter for your application. this isn't something i recommend just ordering out of a summit catalog.

In terms of recommending brands....Alan @ Dirty Dog Performance built a bad mofo billet cover 10" 3,800 torque converter for me. I also have a 9.5" Ultimate Converter Concepts torque converter that takes plenty of abuse.

However, the stall and torque multiplication will depend on how much power your motor makes. Your cam(s) being the key ingredient. That's why any good torque converter builder will want your cam card specs. A 4,000 stall won't stall the same in a 300hp motor as it would in a 500hp motor. And so on... There is also a difference between flashing the converter and using a brake to load up the converter. That stall number is relative and dependent on many factors.

This is good advice,been there done that.

Yep call a converter shop and run your specs by them and see what they can come up for you. I suggest calling Sarge at Performance Torque Converters in Kennedale. I ran one for a while and liked it. Great prices too.
