Default Guesses on Converter Size?

Bought a used 2000 Camaro. Was told the car has a stall converter(PINK IN COLOR) but the previous owner did not what size.
Flashes to about 4000rpm WOT.

My guess is the converter is a vig 3600? Any way to determine stall speed without a transbrake?


Please add your guesses based on prior experience with a stall?

Just take it on the road and floor it, you can usually see about where it flashes to.

Lock transmission in drive with a program like HPTuners while car is stopped. Hold one foot on brake and one foot on gas.

It's definitely a Vigilante.
Is your engine pretty stock? The stall speed is rated on whatever the stock power level is for the particular car that it fits, so if you are making more power than stock you'll see a higher stall speed.
