I am doing a Ls1 into a car that will weigh about 2100lbs. I am going with ported 243's a LS6 intake and havent decided on the cam yet. I was thinking about the MS3 but not positive. I know that the cam and stall go hand in hand but I also thought vehicle weight was a factor also.

What kind of converter/stall would be a good choice for a swap like this. Or is there any site recommended to learn how to pick my own stall.

Thanks.

The converter manufacturers are usually pretty good at sizing a part for you.........a vehicle that lightweight is going to call for alot of stall to be drivable.

I have a friend with a very light roadster, similar weight to yours, he has a pretty well modded LS1 with about 3500 rpm stall. It works pretty well.

what kind of trans??? your cam, rear gear, overall tire diameter and weight all help make the decision. i would guess around 3500-4000.

4l60e, I think I am going to go with either a ms3 or ms4, I will be running a 28 X 13.50R15, rear gear will be a 3.55 and max weight will be 2300lbs.

I may just call a converter company and see what they say. I would like to understand myself though what calculations they use to determine a suggested stall.

Thanks

i reccomned YANK performance, i had another converter before theirs and it took 2 "re-stalls" and it still wasnt right, yank hit it first shot.

my car weighs 3050, has 373's, a cam similar to the MS3(in an otherwise stock motor)and a 26x10 and i have a 4000 stall, with the 355's and taller tire you may want a little more unless you're spraying it...
