Default advice on stall size

I will be getting a stall thrown in my ls1 soon and i just wanted to get some sizes cause i hear different numbers everywhere, lol.

I was leaning towards a Vigilante stall, maybe 2800-3200. i want the right one to fit my current mods and what the cars got in store. Mods are full bolts ons, rebuilt trans, fully decked race suspension and future mods are a beefy cam/heads, 12 bolt and gears and who knows what else. i have heard alot that if i go too small i will regret it and i have also heard its not good to go too big. i want the perfect size and i want it to be a street demon. i have had this mod in the back of my head and now its time to get it out and onto the machine! thanks for the input guys!

If you are running an LT1 the 3200-3400 is good, but for an LS1 with those mods I would say go with something around 4000rpm.

If you ever plan on using the gas I wouldn't reccomend going bigger than a 3600, but if it's going to be an N/A car you could look as high as 4400 IMO.

It really depends on what your goals are.

Mines a 4k stall with a TH400 in a bolt on LT1.
I originally had a 2800 stall with the 60E.
In my opinion go at least 3800 to 4000 stall.

I regretted not going bigger after the first stall selection, and my fears of 4k being too big were unfounded.

Go big so that you don't regret it. 4000 here!

Well pretty much a street, drag and show. I drive it but not every day. 3 times a week maybe. and on the weekends. I use my bike for the 25 mile trip to work every day.

i dont plan on spraying the motor, i want to get a pretty big cam. something that will dominate on the street. and i will have ls1 speed install it for me with a tune

I got a 3600, I dunno if a bigger stall would help but the 3600 is nowhere near too big.
