A good start would be going to Yank's website and look at their suggested stall selector guide. Once you've ballparked a stall speed, start calling vendors and speak with them about intended uses of the car. Keep in mind that some manufacturers rate their stalls very oddly...Vigilante for example seems to underrate the stall speeds. Don't know why, but a good thing to keep in mind. Also, different models, of different manufacturers, and even different lines within the same brand, may have more or less "looseness". There is much to research and much to learn. I also recommend finding a car with the stall you're thinking about, and going for a ride. Then you'll know pretty much for sure. if your car is a daily driver, I highly recommend the Yank SS series. I run a SS3200 and love it. Many here will tell you to go high on a stall, and that may be fine for many. For me it wasn't. I have a heads/cam/longtubes/highflow cats/GHL catback car which sounds very cool, but is loud. I don't need to sound like an F-15 everytime I leave a stoplight.
While idling, this thing creeps in Drive and Reverse, holds hills, drives beautifully and is very fast. My only problem is that I'm very traction limited up to about 30mph. A good problem to have, and I am now practicing launch techniques. A great stall overall. My choice and JMHO.Ed

Well... one more go around... what does the 2.1str and the mm mean in this...... and I have a super sport 02 that has 342 gears I believe.
245mm, 3200 stall, 2.1 STR) The Yank Super Street 3200 is for enthusiasts running stock 3.15 gears, but want more "thrust" off the line. It bridges the gap between the Stealth 3000 and will hit the tires harder for excellent throttle response.

STR is the stall torque ratio. The higher the number, the harder it hits the tires. Really need to know your cam specs and gears (if stock, you either have 2.73's or 3.23's....3.42's came in 6 speeds) to recommend a stall speed. If it's a sizeable cam at all, I'd go with at least a 3500rpm stall and a 2.2-2.5 str depending on what tire you want to run. FWIW I have a 3600 2.2str with street tires and 1st gear is useless.
