Default Should I get a bigger stall?

I am currently running a TCI ssf 3500 stall, also have a 150 shot and a 230x224 cam. Was thinking about getting the converter restalled to 4000, what do you think

If you don't mind spending a little extra money, I bet the Super Stock 4000 Extreme converter would give you a nice gain. Its also made stronger for nitrous. I have the regular SS4000 and it blew my other converter away. Better trap and ET and it also drives better on the street(not as loose). It might net you your goal. You saw it got me to where I wanted to be. My best before saturday was 12.2 @ 109.

I'm going with a 4k right off the bat when I jump into a T-Rex cam, so I say go for it and get a bigger cam!

11.94 @ 113.48 with a 1.68 60' It hit so hard I couldn't get it to hook up. I had to use the traction control to pull 1.6s. If I had slicks, theres a lot more in my setup. I should add that I also switched from 3.23s to 3.73s. I only have BFG drag radials but I do have a lot of susspension work done. With my old setup I was able to flash it off the line and dead hook but the best 60' I could pull was in the 1.7s.

this is the info on my cam. Thunder Racing Custom "Reverse Split" Camshaft - 230/224 .575/.563 111 LSA 2200-6800 RPM Power Band. Excellent mid-range & high RPM power. Automatic cars require computer tuning and it is recommend for optimum results on manual transmission cars .

Did you ever have it dynoed to see where it peaks? Because if your making power to 6800 then you could definitly use a higher stall.

have you considered a fuddle? go to the drag racing results forum and you will see what i did with one. it was a fuddle 3600 9.5" convertor. flashed perfect for my 125 shot. went 1.4 60' on the radials.

Well seeing that this is an even swap, and I am doing all the work myself it not going to cost me nothing other than a few quarts of fluid. So I am going just do the even swap.

that 4K stall will push to about 4900-5000 when you hit it with a 150 shot. thats not a good thing.

I was concerned about blowing thru th converter. That why I talked to the techs at tci, and they told me I'll be fine, but not to up the shot.
