Default Converter help?

Trying to figure out how to size a converter for my build i was thinking a 4000 stall was what i needed based on my reading but not sure a 3600 would not be fine. Here is what i have LS1 11.1 comp 235/23X 62X/62X 111+2 cam 3.90 or 4.10 gears mostly street driven hopefully high 400's whp

Our 245mm 5C would rock in that setup, the cam would love it. But might be a bit aggressive if you rarely go to the track. So really depends on usage. If you can fill out an Ask Chris form I would be happy to help you select the perfect stall for you. Link is in sig...

Go 4000, you won't regret that.. You might regret a 3600.

Depends on who makes the stall and how streetable you need it. For the track, ideally, you want it around 200 rpm over wherever you make peak torque. I would expect that to be around a 4,800 for your cam. Just a guess though. A dyno sheet would tell you what would net you the best times.
