3800-4000 should be a nice comprimise with either motor or spray. I'm giving a 5000 a try and probly have it tightened up but being as I already have it I figure why not try something a little on the extreme.

I would think you will want a 3800-4000. I'm running a TR224-112 with a 3400 and will be getting it re-stalled to ~ 4000 at the end of the year.

dont you guys think 4500 is way too high for a car that makes peak power @ 5800?

we run converters like this combo all the time. The SST series converter is designed to get you a high enough stall but with excellent efficiency. As long as we are 1200 away we are good.

Mind you, most of these recommendations are for strip only. Without saying what you plan with your car, we can only guess. Also what tires and gears do you have? You may want to only do highway rolls with it and dialy drive it, or you may be looking for only outstanding 60'. I would recommend a converter between a 3500 (nitrous use) up to a 4500 (Max ET effort for the street), on a 2.0 (hooking on street tires, efficient up top) up to a 2.4 (wheels stands on slicks, or good street manners). Talk to the converter manufacturers as they will be the best to suggest a proper converter, not forum users (who mainly have had one coneverter experience).

Very well said. There are a lot of factors in determining the right converter for your combination. Current mods, intended use, future mods - all important info. Find a converter builder you feel comfortable with and go from there.

Also, a lot of guys are going off what they have in their 4L60E... not a TH350. I agree with FTI and would say around 4500. I DD my 4k stall in my 4L60E. I'm going with a TH400 and will be around 4500ish stall
