Okay. I mostly get how a stall converter works but lets say i got 3000 stall and i was driving through town. I come to a red light. It turns green. I press the gas. Will my car only start going when it hits 3000 rpms?

NO! It will feel a bit sluggish at first but it will likely start to move around 1500 rpm, whereas the stock one probably started at around 1000.

I have a Yank 3600 and can accelerate briskly to highway speed without ever going above 2800 rpm.

That clears up alot for me and im sure it will for alot of people! Thanks alot! And so i shouldnt be afraid to go big? I have a torquer 2 and full exhaust so my low end torque isnt the prettiest

Instead of getting the car to move at 1000 rpm's, it takes about 1800-1900 to get going with a 4k. Keeps you in your power band from the get.

Thats not near as bad as i thought. Glad to hear it.cuz i want one

Keep mind converters are not created equal. I would suggest the Yank SS3600.

I dd my car with an ss3600 pretty often and it's not too loose for what size converter it is, and doesn't take that much rpm to get goin from a light maybe 1500 or so Iv never looked. If I let off the brake it'llove on its own still.

Most converters are rated at the flash stall, meaning that is the RPM they flash to on full acceleration. Like mentioned above, just cruising around a light throttle they will move the car at a much lower RPM. A 3500+ stall on a LS motor is very common for a DD, I think you will be very pleased. I would be happy to help you spec one out, just send me your info and I can get back to you.... Ask Chris link in sig.
