Motor has a built bottom end with 10.1:1 compression. I will be adding truck heads and possibly thicker head gaskets to lower the compression. I am in the process of buying the Procharger setup that Moparnos had on this car. I believe it comes with a 11-13psi pulley.
I want some recommendations on stall size. I currently have a 4400 stall on it that I was using for the all motor setup, so I am thinking I need to go lower, possibly 3000-3500, correct?
I am having Ed Curtis design me a cam. I orginally was having him design a max effort all motor cam, but my setup has changed. I want to first get an idea of what type of stall I will need, and then have him design the cam based on the stall. Or should I be doing it the other way around? Mods are below.
thanks

That 4400 stall would still work for you, it depends on what your goals are for the car. Will it see much street use? Bob

50/50 or mostly street?

I would say it will be more of a street car than a strip car, but still want it to be able to do some nice launches. I will be taking it to a track a few times. I am assuming slicks are required to get a procharged/4400 stalled setup to hook, right?

I am running a 4200 converter, more power you make the higher it will flash. A 4400 converter designed for a head/cam combo will probbaly be too loose but it never hurts to try it. Any V8 with a 4400 converter needs good tires at thet track to get the most out of it

The thing is that the procharger should be here by next week. If I send out the converter now to have it restalled/modified, I might have it back by next week and have the entire setup ready to try out.

You have a TCI3800 listed in your sig, if thats what you have I would try it first. TCI should be able to restall yours in a couple days and get it back quick if its not right..

I actualy sold that TCi last month and went with the Fuddle 4400.

It was easier for me to decide on on a all motor setup than this..I have to pick a cam and stall size.

Try that converter and see what you think.

I can, but I think I may be dissapointed.
I was at Markos shop three weeks ago getting it tuned for H/C, and in third gear the rpm's couldn't get over 6,100 rpms. Bill told me it was the converter for sure. I was getting major valve float as welll, so maybe that was contributing as well. But if the converter was being overpowered with the N/A setup, I hate to see what it do with a procharger.

It will be pretty loose probably, I would just try to see where you are at first so you have a point of reference. Most likely it will have to be tightened up a couple hundred rpm..

edit: If its that loose N/A you will be very disappointed when you put the blower on it. May as well get it changed now..

The nice thing about Yank is that they used to restall converters for like $200-250.

My current TCT is stalling like 4500 with 18-21 psi. I might sell it. I was seeing 162mph on the dyno with it.

Yea John,
I sent you that e-mail asking about the TCT converter earlier. Were do you think it will stall with about 11-13psi on my setup?

BTW, I will be using unmodified truck heads, Jr Victor manifold with Aarons elbow/NW tb, and not sure on cam yet..

I'd think less then what it does now... Maybe 4000? Hard to say. Drives pretty good.

John,
Can you shoot me a pm with what you want to get for it? Would it be possible that I can have it by next week or a lil after that?
thanks
