Default trex and 3800 stall

I am planning to get the trex cam for my ls1, but I also am going to have a 150 wet shot. would a 3800 stall be good or would a 4000 be better

With N20 I would say a 3800 stall. You may be able to squeeze by with a 4000 if it is a really tight converter, but I still think with a 150 shot it would flash up to almost 5k. If you had some real sticky *** tires I think you MIGHT be okay.

3800 or smaller would be better unless its VERY TOIGHT! (goldmember voice)
I know of a local guy that had a trex, ported heads, etc. and sprayed a 150 on it. He had a 3500 convertor with a th400, it went 10.30s with no 2nd gear...needless to say he was makin some power

whats wrong with flashing at 5k... if you looka the fastest cam only list, outta the top 5 guys, 3 were auto's, and they all had a 5500 stall to get there.

This is true but will he drive it daily? If its a weekend car then go all out. But if your logging miles and street race the 3800 would work better IMO.
