Default How to chose stall speed?

Combination,
1986 Camaro
5.3
Ls1 heads
Cam 204/218@.050 .551 lift 112LSA
Truck manifolds
T76 turbo

4l80E transmission
Trans brake
3.50 rear gear
28 inch tall tire

Running E85 and looking at about 500-600 wheel hp.

I was kind of leaning towards 3600 stall. But looking for any input.

I know converter builders have alot of trouble specing converters for turbo cars... I would say something like a 3200 with your mods. To keep it real tight.

4000 get that turbo to spool and letter rip.
but really i would call some of the larger builders and talk with them. you are going to probably get a few different responses.

I think 3600+ will be a good range. Make sure you will have no problems spooling it. Getting something custom built for your setup is highly recommended. Turbos are probably the hardest combo to build for. I would also suggest a multi disk, so you can lock up on the big end and load the turbo....
