Hi guys,
What stall speed and what kind of converter do you recomend for a mildly built 350 prolly pushing high 200's for HP? I think my converter is cracking my flywheel so I'm gonna swap it before I nuke my car. Any particualr brand out there better than others? The cam is the best that I could run while I still had the computer on board. The computer is now gone. Mods are in my sig.
Thanks for any advice.

 

2400- 2600 lot depends on the weight of the car where the stall speed is.

 

The proper stall speed depends completely on the power band of your engine. This means that if you have an engine that starts to "pull" at say, 2100 RPM and you have a 1600 stall converter, your performance off of the line will not be at it's best. On the other hand if you put in a 2400 or 3000 stall you will be wasting expensive power, since the converter won't be passing the maximum power to the tranny until later in the power band. In the example I used, a 2000 stall would be ideal since you will "flash" up a little bit on take off. You will then be at the optimum take off RPM. Sometimes too, people have the proper stall converter for the engine combo but have the wrong rear end gears to fully utilize the power.
