You aren't going to get much out of that stock converter with any cam. What are your future plans, since you said a short while? It will drive but may be more of a dog than you are wanting. I would say the wider the LSA the less noticeable it will be. I would stay away from a tight LSA with a stock verter. Any reason you are doing a cam before the converter?

im not looking to build a race car or anything just mainly going for sound n to scare mustangs nothing 2 serious just staying low budget and the car is my DD and plus my girlfriend knows a guy who can install the cam and if he can do both then ill wait but if not then the cam will be first....then i will need to get someone to do the converter but its just a DD not gunna see the track...but the cam i want is the TSP220 with either a 112 or 114 i wnt a choppy idle i dont want a stock idle

no converter+ no long tubes+ stock ls1 intake+220 or 224 cam= 15rwhp gain and little to no gain in 1/4 mile time. basically a huge waste of money for sound that you cant back up. grab a converter(3600 stall, then do a 224 cam) and youll have a pretty quick car.

Well you just need a cam that has a positive overlap and stock like manners. Most people will tell you to get a converter and not know why they are saying that other than the simple fact that other members have said it before, so it must be right! With that being said there is a sacrifice, but if you arent concerned with racing or E/T's...who cares right? Thunder Racing actually has a lineup of cams with lots of bark to them, bite as well if you are willing to upgrade appropriately. TSP can also custom spec you a cam with the manners you are looking for. Just don't get upset when a 4.6l with a cold air intake starts to walk on you.

He doesnt care about any of that currently. I am sure he can get a converter put in relatively quick though if it does cause concern at some point.

OP- Most members are concerned with 2 things:

Hooking - suspension mods with wide rear tires and shedding weight.
Booking - Motor modifications with drivetrain accomidating.

The car is basically stock...just has Volant CAI and BBK longtubes are on the way and also SLP LM1 exhaust...im not gunna be at the track anytime soon...just looking for sound with a litle gain but a converter is in the works just dont know when but if that guy can do it then ill have him do both

i hope you didnt order it, if so you just wasted money. when your ready to do a stall do a minimum of 3200, for a daily id go with a 3600 personally. youll make decent power with long tubes and a 224 cam.

tr224 and get a good quality converter yank,circle-d,3200 will work.you get what you pay for,there are only a couple of good converter companies out there.

With a cam and LTs you will not want a LM1...wayyyyyy to loud. I had to put a muffler on mine, I could not drive it as loud as it was. I love the sound of a LM1 with a stock cam, but it's too much when you add an aftermarket cam.

^^^^I would have to disagree, for all the reasons u thought it was bad i think it sounds badass, LM1+LT+F13cam+SS4000=all American badass sound when cruising and at idle!

isnt a stock converter 1800?
I couldnt be happier with the streetablility of my vig 3400 after I got it in... can barely tell its there when your just crusing at light throttle.

Chaos07

its just going in as a temparay one till i can get a circle d one...and how will the LSA of 112 or 114 affect anything?
