need help choosing stall size and brand this is my vehicle that it concerns..
https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...lq4-4l80e.html
lq4, headers, "off road" y-pipe, 3 1/2" exhaust, electric fans, tune, ...maybe 375hp/400ft/lbs..
truck weighs 3640 with me in it (3500 w/o)
has 12 bolt with 3.73's and 26" tire.
truck went 13.20 with the stock torque converter and 3.42's. with a 1.98 60'.
id like to get it to 12.7XX's with the new rear with 3.73's and a converter. i think the truck makes the power to do it(went 105.86mph) just need to choose the right converter, i was hoping to stay under 3200rpms... its driven about 400-500 miles per week....
for what its worth i do have a large(like 10x18") permacool trans cooler under the bed witha 1250cfm fan on it, thermostat controlled... right now the fan barely ever runs.(comes on at 180, and shuts off at 165..)
any advice on stall rpm for this combo and also brand would be helpful. thank you, Keith.

100's of threads like this my best advice is call the convertor makers and talk to them. We have some great sponsors here but you do not have to use them. You need to talk to the builders.
I love my FTI 3600. And you will get the same kind of responce from
most people about their convertors and manufactures.

okay. yea i see some pretty heated ...uh... conversations about who makes the best. or best for the moeny or whatever...
i guess im not looking at manufacturer as much as i am stall speed. which i guess maybe i still need to talk to someone who builds them.
thanks though,
keith

okay i originally thought i wanted to stay at or around 3000-3200, but the more i read into it i think i should just get done and over with and do the 3600...
i hope this things runs a good bit better with the 3.73's, and 3600 stall.
my goal is to be as close to 11.50 as possible on hopefully no bigger than a 150 shot... i dont really care to go any faster in this vehicle, i dont wanna cage in it, and it should be good enough to make people look twice.
