Stall
 
I'm gonna be buyin a Fuddle Racing stall converter in the next couple of days would a 2,800 or 3,000 stall be better? I have 3.73 gears.

I have the --TCS S3 Series 9/11 3600 stall converter w/ lock up
"All TCS Performance Torque Converters include a furnace brazed Pump Cover, double reinforced Turbin Fins, a 4340 Billet Turbin Spline, Torington Bearings & a 4130 induction heat treated Pump Drive Hub."

It woke the car up alot.

with the gears i would do 3,000 especially if its not your DD and you dont mind the gas.

It all depends on the application- if you cruise around a lot, get the lower one, or else you might in the convertor quite a bit...

3,000

3000 ...if you get a nice brand it isnt too much of a difference till you stomp on it :) It is one of the biggest sit of the pants mods though. Make sure you do a tranny cooler and temp guage though cause you can kill the tranny if your not careful.

I went with a 3.000 :) What tranny cooler would ya'll recommend? I'm going to get a Transgo shift kit as well.

worlds best advice on a converter. You put the wrong one in and it will feel like you lost a cylinder, or burn up your trans from slipping (makes more heat)

97z2801ss 04-03-2006 02:03 PM

yep.... I think TCI is the best co.
go with whats reccommended by the shop that does it

John at Fuddle Racing recommended it over the 2,800 since I have 373s and also quite a few local people :confused: Two ppl I know who had pretty quick f-bodies (one bolt on LT1 in the 12s and the other in the low 13s I think) one in the 12s had a 3,500 stall converter street driven and the other like 3,200 they absolutely said I should go higher. I am getting a transmission cooler and a shift kit I just don't see how it would feel like I lost a cylinder if it gets my car closer to low 13s.. never had a higher stall converter before so I'd like to know.

what it does is slips to get the engine to rev higher, so the engine gets to a higher rpm band, and may not stay in the best part for power. Call TCI and see what they say, they know better than anyone since they build them and test them constantly

blue89vert 04-04-2006 04:53 PM

i heard 350+ hp a 3,000 or 3,200 is good. Below that a 2,800 is recommended

Magicvega 04-04-2006 05:42 PM

3000 should be fine if its a good brand converter...cheap ones tend to act funny. Basically your car might feel slower because at low rpms your car isnt really gonna want to move as much as before... But you will love when you got WOT it makes a big difference especially when it shifts and stays more in the powerband. Bad thing is if your tranny has any problems it will hasten the destruction of it lol. Id get a b&m cooler 24000 gvw.

camaro_chic17 04-04-2006 07:53 PM

Interesting.. the Camaro's not even close to my daily and every time I take it out I'm pretty hard on it but I'll give Fuddle a call tomorrow might change it.

blue89vert 04-04-2006 08:08 PM

hmm...yah you should give him a call
