ok guys, jsut doing some research and all so bear with me!

I'm looking at the 228R cam from TSP (228/228 .588/.588) and was told I would have trouble ideling and I'd need a stall converter for it. what would be the smallest possible stall I could go with, or is there any way to turn up the stock stall speed?

You can not turn up the stock stall. The smallest stall I would go with is a 3000. But I highly recommend a 3600. Very streetable, huge performance boost and it'll really wake up that cam.

The SS3600 is the one I like the best. But the stealth 3000 or SS3200 would also work.

Good luck.

a 2800-3200 would work just fine and be VERY friendly on the street.. Thats what i would go with for that cam bc a 3600 might be over doing it a lil with that cam..

3200+

I have a 3400. The 3400 and this cam are a match made in LS1 heaven. The stall is not loose, it hits hard and the power comes on even harder.

ack gramps isnt gonna go for stalls over say 2200 if that even.

3600 isn't over doing it for a stock LS1 so there is no way it's over the top for a 228/228 cam. I love my 3500 stall and wish I went with a 3800

yall I'd lvoe a big stall but gramps jsut flat uot wont elt me have it. hes the one apying for the tranny to be rebuild so the samller the stall I can make work with the 228R cam the better my chances of getting it.

I see that TCI makes a 3k stall, anyone know who makes a 2800 stall?

Vigilante makes a good 2800 stall. I ran one for a couple of years until recently bumping it up to 4000. I never had any issues and within a few days, you won't even know its there.

do you happen to know which sponsor sells it for the cheapest?

holy hell the vig is expensive as hell!! he def aint gonna like that factor. im starting to like the TCI converters. whats the difference b/t lock up and non-lockup?

AK's WS6

A lockup converter will act like stock after 40mph under light load. When you get lock up the engine and trans are at a 1:1 ratio (spinning at the same speed) when you are un-locked the engine is spinning at a higher RPM than the trans. Long story short you want a lockup converter.

are the TCI converters lock up or no?

Or where can I get saya 2800-3k stall with lock up for the cheapest at. this is really a "budget" thing if ya cant already tell

AK's WS6

Yes, a majorty of them are. Try fruddle sp? he had some troubles in the past, but his converters were not bad for the price. Here https://ls1tech.com/forums/sponsor-sales-specials/677202-unbelievable-savings-fuddle-spring-sale.html

I MIGHT have gramps hooked on a yank 2800 or 3k stall I told him its a stocks tall speed but he wont ever drive the car so he wont know.

AK's WS6

Has he ever driven a car with an aftermarket lockup stall?? Hell, he let you cam it, so he should be game for a 3600 stall.

hes not gonna let me put a big stall in it

lmao woops brain dead for a min, I meant to say hes not gonna elt me put that big of a stall in it

PonchoFan

Get a Yank SS3600.
I had a Yank ST3000 and they both drive the same (until you mash it)
My wife even says it's the best thing I did to the car.
Note that I've got a 228R cam and headers.
You will need a dyno tune for thye cam; not the converter.

ok with the yank 3k stall (or in my case maybe the 2800) how is the everyday driveability comapred to stock?

seriously. get the 3600 and let him deal with it. get it put in and dont tell him any different. driving the car he'd know no difference. as far as he's concerned, the 2500-2600 rpms it takes to get the car moving would be enough to convince him that it's a small stall, by the sound of it.
