Default curious on the stalls, which one to get???

Hey guys, searching for a good stall, curious on how much they run and what would be a good stall on what i will describe:

still want to use as a daily driver and at the track occasionally, so basically 99 percent street driven and 1 percent on the track, still want to have this car somewhat good on gas haha..so nothing too outrageous like a 4000 stall, i was thinking about a 3000 stall but what kinds are there, and not sure on the prices ect.

im not sure on prices...but ive got a 3000 w/ a TH350 in my regal. It only sucks when the car is kinda cold. But the car isnt all that bad on gas considering what it is.

Converter selection should be based on cam used, rear gears, and good rwhp/rwtq curves from dyno runs. Just like everything else in performance parts selection - it's the proper combo of parts that work in harmony with one another that counts. Bigger stall is not always better...

For instance, in my case with the numbers in my sig (and even with the new numbers with new engine combo and approaching 500 rwhp N/A), 3.73 gearing, street tires, etc., a 3600 stall verter is appropriate for a car that is driven mostly on the street. Any more than that is only hurting my performance.

You also have to remember that advertised stall is not necessarily how a verter will behave behind a given combo - my 3600 might be actually stalling around 3800 with my combo.

Talk with John at Fuddle - he can set you on an appropriate verter to use with your combo after talking with you...

Yup, says I should go with a 4000 stall also - but my torque curve shows otherwise...
