Smaller diameter stall should increase your tq multiplier and decrease stress put on the trans. Dana at Pro-Built is great at matching stalls to combos. When I ordered mine he took down my CI, cam specs, intake, rear end gear... and a bunch of other stuff I've forgotten about.

Definitely call Dana @ Probuilt or at least call up a few different transmission shops (aftermarket speed shops, not "fix its") and compare thier advice. Don;t listen to anyone who doesn;t ask you for your cam specs and rear gears AT LEAST.

You could play a guessing game with your cam, heads, gears, etc. If it were me though I would just use the stock stall and take the car to the dyno when you are done and find out exactly what you need.

Depending on the application I would suggest a smaller diameter ones... the B&M's are the same size as stock so it doesn't help reduce drivetrain stress or increase the multipler.

how about a vette converter with a slight higher stall than f-bodies?
i wont be going to crazy with my next motor. i still want it to be streetable. im aiming for low 13s/high 12 with a LTR setup. i'll have my tranny out and if a higher stall will truly benefit, then i wanna go for it. i do drive under 2000 RPMs a lot, while racing only on weekends.

I went with the Vigilante 2400 on Dana @ Pro-Built's suggestion. I couldn't be happier with the converter, or the tranny he built me

If you want the best stall converter for your car, call one of the companies that makes the converters (B & M, ACI) and ask them what they reccomend. Go to the experts, They will ask you waht kind of engine, gearing, and the purpose of the car, and will find you the optimum converter.
