What stall speed is the best? For a 1998 Camaro Z28, with several mods including full bolt-ons, 3.73 rear, torque arm, control arm, panhard bar, subframe connector, HPtuner, and radials. Don't feel like a cam yet due to gas mileage. What stall speed is the best for gas mileage, drivability and ET? I've been told 3000 is the lowest I should go, lower typiclly means better MPG so i would prefer lower. So whats your opinion. advice? I'm thinking that a 3000 stall is good to bring my gas mileage down 2-3 MPG. I don't know if that MPG esimate is acurate though. I also read that someone got a 3600 stall and was mad that they didn't get a 4000 because the 3600 was too much like stock, but that was a trans am too.

Should be in the automatic section. Lots of posts like this already available, look around a little.
Gas milelage will be unchanged on the highway (converter locks) regardless of stall, but will vary in stop and go traffic depending on stall speed. I'd recomend ~ 3500. My buddy has a 3000 and loves it, I have a 3500 and wish I'd gone ~4000. Good luck.
