i was suggested to 2800-3000 stalls. They say its good for the streets and its also right where you want it to be on an lt1 using stock cam.. i wish i had the money to get the stall..

I'd say about 2800-3400 with a GOOD 9.5" convertor. when I say good, I mean one that ranges in price from $500-900. If it's less than 450, question why. a crappy converter with a 2500 stall, will drive worse than a quality 3000 stall. also don't forget to think about the STR rating, as that plays a big effect on how hard it "hits", and how tight it is up top.

If you haven't picked a brand already, I will suggest a few good ones: Yank, Presion Industry(vigilant), Edge. stay away from low end brands like raptor, B&M, and other 200-300 pieces. You get what you pay for. If you knew this already, consider it just a reminder.

I've had a number of stalls, all because i keept going to low. The best stall that worked for me was the 3600. But i still think the most all around dd stall was the 3200.

Don't forget a trans cooler. I got 29000gvw and it sill got hot on a warm day. I had to put a deep pan on it just to keep it under 200deg.

Its the best mod for the money you will love the it performs.

I had a 3500 rpm lockup vigilante converter behind a 350 SBC in a third gen that was perfectly streetable. Run the biggest tranny cooler money can afford and you'll be fine

This guy has an LT1.

I vote for a 2800.

it depends on what you can tolarate I have heard of some people that say they love their 4400 stall and DD it but on the other hand some people say that streetable is 3500 and lower. I guess it depends on the person.

I knew that. I donno how many others caught it.
I have a friend with a stock cam LT1(in a roadmaster. the duration is about 10* less. than an F-body) He has a 2800-3200 edge(thats the range it's considered), and he tells me how he wants more stall. It's his daily driver, so I dout he would want a sloppy convertor for around town use.

Don't forget that rear end ratio, and amount of torque, and weight all play into where it ends up stalling at.

Look at it this way, if you go bigger, then you will have a stall for future mods. It would suck to do a h/c package and then have to upgrade your stall for more $$.

For a stockish LT1, I wouldn't go bigger than 3000.
