from what I've read, most people wish that they went with a higher stall after purchasing their new stall. I can't give you specific info on your car, as I have no experience, but from what I've read, the typical complaint is that they should have gone higher on the stall speed.

It's not too low, and would be a good verter if you do ALOT of city driving. It kinda depends on what you want when choosing a stall.....What are you looking to get from the stall you choose???

With 3.73s and drag radials I would go a 3500. A 3000 is good start for someone with 2.73 gears. With 3.73s, you can go to a higher stall and let your gears absorb some of the looseness.

I consider my TCI SF 3000 very streetable,
which probably means it's too little Like
if it doesn't hurt some, you're not playing.

I had a SSF3500 with 3:73 and it was loose as hell. You get what you pay for here I believe, of course this is just my personal experience and not a strike at TCI credibility. I have a Yank 2800 1.8 STR and am very happy now. It is super tight, super efficient however maybe a little too tight for me allthough not enough to make me switch. I would probably go with Vig, PI, Yank 3000-3200. Those will be just right for street strip.
