Re: Converter help?
If this still has a 700r4 trans, don't worry about having too much stall on the street. When the converter locks, could lock as early as 3rd gear...35mph and above, the stall no longer has any effect. I'd have no problem putting a 3000 stall on that. I have a custom converter in mine, and it works much better than the last one I had. My trans. builder had me talk to Brian at BDR Converters, and he seems to know quite a bit and his converter was definitely cheap for how it performs. Even if you only talk to him, I'd suggest calling him and possibly other converter companies. BDR's number is 716-200-7632 and tell him Chris with the big turbo 82 Camaro told you about him.
