You're going to flash to a high RPM only to have the cam peter out 1500rpms later
The RS part was just an old TGO thing.

The trucks like my 06 Silverado also have the 2nd gear start and so did the 03 Astro work van I used to drive. The truck will kick down to first on it's own after a second when hammering on it.

That sounds right, I think it was 2000 that they started the 2nd gear start option. I made a mistake at the track and launched in 2nd, stock converter and was a full second slower than my best (in sig).

Sorry guys completely forgot about this thread after the holidays etc. After reading through everyones replies it seems I will def need a tune that fine as there are multiple good tuners here in south fl. So lets say I did keep the stock gears for now, could a 3600-4000 with a high str such as a yank stall be driven with them or totally not probable? From the vids ive seen and comments read it takes about 2000-2500 rpm to keep up with traffic in a 3600-4000 stall but it would be more with 2.73's even through the higher gears require less engine rpms to get the car to move?? If that is too high of a stall what would be a good choice? Like i said dont bash me on the gears rt now i do a lot of hwy driving so id like to keep revs down plus i think my tranny is taking a **** so this would be a good time to do the stall...

You will be fine with those gears and a converter. Will you greatly benefit from the "feel" of taking off and what not with a set of 373s? Definitely, but it isn't going to be night and day difference. It will just give it a tighter feel. Performance wise (anybody can argue with me all you want, I won't believe otherwise seen this WAY too many times) you won't see a difference with 373s.. Sure it will give you an amazing SOTP feeling, ET wise you won't notice much of a change if a change at all.
And for anyone wanting to argue that. Unless you have DA calculations on the EXACT passes that you made with NO other changes... Don't even bring it up, your argument is void.

Thanks Lemons the reason I'd like to do a stall is BECAUSE the tranny will be out for a rebuild lol. But from what your saying the 2.73-3.73 wont make much of a difference in the way the car drives before lockup? From vids i have watched 3600 yanks usually can get moving decently from about 2k-2300 I'm just hoping if I throw one in and tune it I wont be spinning 3k to get the car moving if you catch what Im saying.

If I missed it, sorry.. Have you thought about a set of 3.42s? Hell, I have a set of 3.23s lying around I'll sell you for next to nothing, just pay shipping. They are perfect shape.. It will be better than the 2.73s, but nothing that I would worry about myself.

ya that makes me feel way better about my 3.23s. i have a ss4k on the way and was dreading swapping gears. converters and tunes are exspensive. wasnt in the mood to gear swap right away

Ya I had thought about gears but the thing is im in college and its about 200 miles to my house each way so the 2.73's are nice for the hwy plus with the cost of the tranny and stall I dont have the cash for the gears atm lol. 2300-2400 more or less isnt too bad i just didnt wanna be spinng 3k just to leave a stop light....

Thanks for all the help guys I feel bad to keep posting questions as so many of you have gave your opinions but I wanna do this once and do it right if you all can understand that. With sponsors offering specials on stalls right now its also driving me to get one here soon. Im not having much like finding a stall and im not entirely sure I want to chance a used one. So I think Ive got it narrowed down to either a ss3200 or ss3600 the 3200 has a 2.1 str and 3600 has a 2.5 str. The 3200 should feel tighter around town which i like with the gears i have but I've heard that a 3600 will feel just about the same but the shifts up top will be MUCH better. Is this true will they drive about the same. The 3600 should be better up top and from a roll? Which do you all reccomend the 4000 is definetley too big for me.

With that said, that is no comparison. 3600 wins, no question about it.
