Need Help What Size Stall and Brand?
I have a 97' LT1, I have catback exhaust, moroso intake w/elbow, 52mm TB, 160 thermo, March Pulley's, lt4 knock module, free mods, bmr rear control arms and adjustable panhard rod, strange 3.73's with TA cover, and a set of MT ET Street Drag Radials that I can interchange... My next step is a stall but I dont know what size or brand to use with my gears....any info would be great....and what sort of improvements you guys got from your converters.

Re: Need Help What Size Stall and Brand?
the best way is to actually dyno the car, and work from the actual power curve. but i would say for your setup a 2600-3000 stall would work, just make sure you get a lockup converter or youll be hating life at the gaspumps. Brand name is always good, but not always nessesary, i found mine on ebay for 145 bucks, fully custom built performance converter with 2600-2800 stall, and a kevlar lockup clutch. certanly impressed me. have yet to run her at the strip though, so couldnt tell ya what actual improovement i saw, but from seat of the pants, holy hell it was amazing.

I went with a non-lockup converter. I dropped about 1.5-2 MPG. with a 3200 RPM stall. They are not that big of a deal.
However, non lockups are not just a throw in and be done deal. You have to replace the lockup spool in the valve body with a non lockup spool. So I would just go with a lockup converter. Just make sure you tell it to stay unlocked under full throttle. Unless you get one designed to lock up under full load
