Do stalls make THAT much of a difference?

I'm about to have a cam installed, and with the stock stall, i can run a 224r 114lsa cam no problem. Well I really want a 228r 112lsa cam, but I would need a stall.

My question is, if I get a 3500 or so stall, would there be a HUGE difference in acceleration? I've never driven a stalled car before, so I have no idea what to expect.

i did my stall before my cam and the car seems to acclerate 10 times faster than stock. I now have a tr230 cam and edge stall. When driving around normal the stall is barely noticeable. But under WOT the car is a blast to drive. I recommend a good stall.

I wanna do a cam to my car too. I wonder at what point on a stock car with a cam you would need a stall?

Huge difference. Like a shot of nitrous but no bottle to refill.

Hey buddy, I need to give you a call. I'm about to have a cam installed by G-force, and was thinking about getting a stall from you.

It should be one of the first mod you do when you have an automatic.

Stalls make a very big difference ( if you can hook up ) . My ride with stock converter, D/R's and -85 d.a went 13.1 .
With my Yank ss4000 stall ,I went 12.52 in +1428 d.a. Thats 12.33 corrected . 8 tenths !!
I dropped .25 off of my 60 ft . Thats a real good reason for a stall

This is on a stock motor too ! No headers ,stock LS1 intake .

I felt like I gained more from the stall than I did from the TR230 cam....should be the first mod for an auto car period.

There was a post where someone went from a stock stall to I believe a Yank PT4000 and knocked a full second off the times. From around 13.00 to around 12.00. So yes, a stall can make a huge difference.

Try this with a stock stall, forcing the tranny to hold 2nd

Not much just SLP lid, K&N, TB bypass, no cats, V force. It;s an auto and I am doing LT headers and 373 gears soon. Unsure of the right cam though. Don't want something with too big of a lift but def not mild either.

right now, all i have is full intake and full exhaust. if i go to a 228r, 3600 stall, and a tune, will it be like a new car? also, would it even be worth putting 3.73's in?

As far as the feel, I think mine feels less responsive and I know there are other who feels the same, but it did knock 7 tenths off of my 1/4 and gained me 3 mph.

You don't need the gears. With the cam and the stall it will be much faster.
