How much would a 3500 stall Torque Convertor Help my Car?
I am would like to know how much you think a 3500 stall would help my car out. The engine specs are a 350 with 10.5 compression. Trick Flow 23 degree head, Victor Jr intake. Speed Demon 750. The cam is a Comp Cam. Maguam 292. Not sure about cars weight but should be around 3350. I have a Turbo 400 trans with a convertor that stall about 2500. I have 3.73 gears. Thanks for the help. Also how much to you think a set of 1 3/4 long tube headers would help this car out. I have a set of Hooker 1 5/8 shorty header right now. Thanks again

If you have high traction tires that can put the power to the ground you can expect 3 to 4 tenths of a sec improvement.

Just by looking at the cam specs in a mag, you are just entering the powerband with the 2500, so the 3500 will help. The LTs will help out also. But it's hard to say the amount of increase of either mods.
