Default Got gears, now it's stall time!! What size?

I just got 3.73's installed last week. Now I am going to get a stall and tranny cooler. What size stall works beast for my mods? I was looking at a yank 3600. I don't dd the car. I'll get a cam someday down the road. Not sure when.

This might be a stupid question but what is it like to drive a car with a stall on the street? Never had one need to get one.

Is it something that you can just drive or do you have to have your foot in the radiator all of the time? Also what rear gear are you guys running?

It makes a huge difference I'd say. The biggest difference I've noticed while modding my car has been the gears and the stall converter it really woke up the car. I'd take a stalled a4 over a m6 any day just for the fact of how hard it pulls

Anyone have vids of stock stall vs 4k+ stall? Is this something you can do at home? I know how to work on cars.

Does your home allow you to drop the trans?

Also dont rule out a ~3600 stall. Is this car mostly driven on the street? Do you only take the car to the track and are you looking for max results? If your cam doesnt need a 4k stall to put it in the powerband I would go smaller (stock cam). Its more enjoyable to drive around with the tighter stall, although your 3:73's will help alot.

My car just seems slow to me. Even after the gears. Did a stall wake your car up?

My mod list was more or less identical to yours until I added the stall a month ago. Much more fun to drive and seemed to get rid of all dead spots. Does take a little getting used to and I can't say I'd want to DD all the time. I drive mine on nice days and drive the beater on rainy days. Going WOT at anything under 35 mph results in some wheel spin, but I'm on BFG KDW's with over 25k miles on them that will need replaced next year. Try and find someone in your area with a stall and go for a ride to see if you'll like it, which I'm sure you will.

I would say either 3600 or 4000 yank stall, I just got a ss3200 and it's a great DD converter, but would go a little higher for a weekend car.

I have a Yank PT3800 Stall. I think it is a sissy stall.. As soon as I get time to pull my trans out it is going back to yank for a 4200+ .

I have never owned a stalled auto before this car either. I just am not happy with how the 3800 hits I guess.
