I was wondering, would a 4000 Stall Converter be to much stall for a stock cam LS1/LS6?

I have seen people say it's perfect for stock. It will have a higher ET than a 3600 would on a stock motor. It will get it too high in the powerband.

What is really true?

i have a vig 3200 stall and plan on stepping up to a bigger stall like a 4k. you will be amazed how civil a 3200 stall will drive. even if it were a DD i would not go smaller than a 3800 stall.

I'm trying if its too big as far as the power band of the stock cam.
Not really the driveability.

a 4K stall will run just fine with a stock car. it will give you room to grow if you ever add cam/heads. i don't think i would spend the money unless you are going to get some drag radials. my car is only running high 11's and it gets to a point where it doesn't even really feel safe with out drag radials.

I have a yank 4k stall in my Z28 with a stock LS1 . It is fine as a DD .I am very happy with it . Knocked a lot of time off of my ET . Over 6 tenths in hot & humid weather .If I wasn't planning on doing a cam someday ,I probably would of went with a 3600 stall. The 3600 has a little less shift extension and is probably makes the stock LS1 cam a little more usable . IMO

Very true !! W/o drag radials ,it will just be a cool burnout machine . Even with drag radials you can spin pretty easy when theyre not hot .

A 4000 will only put u higher up in ur powerband which doesnt hurt because your making more power higher up in ur powerband. If you dont really care about driveability then go with the 4000 it wont hurt you.

LS1's N/A really respond to a high stall 8-9" converter. There is a slight spin that you will see from a loose converter is normal. Probably will feel weird if you drive a stockish stall.

But you will go faster.

Id say go for it, especially if you have more mods planned later like mentioned above. I daily drive my 4000 stall, and love it. I am cammed though.

I would say a 3600 stall is just right.But it also depends on what converter u go with.Some converters feel different then others.Yank & Vigalante are the two best IMO.

4k is gonna be a pain on the street after a while. 3600 stall is pushing it for DD.

Not at all !! Car moves @ 1800-1900 rpm . Cruises fine too . I myself was suprised

I've had both a 3600 and a 4000 stall. Based off my experience I would recommend the 3600 to you unless a heads/cam package is in its near future. I miss my 3600, it definitely was more comfortable and fun on the street. If my exhaust was quieter the 4000 would be better but it is still a little too loose for my taste.

Soon I'm gonna put a stall in my Dad's GTO and I think I'm gonna go with a 3600 since it's a DD and has stock internals.

I guess the biggest thing you gotta ask yourself is what your personal preference is.

I drove a STOCKish T/A NON WS.6 and beleive me it handles a lot different then my car that has SFC's, LCA's, 4.10's Spool like differential, Skinnies, and a Welded in rear sway bar. and deleted front sway.

I have grown used to it and actually prefer it now.

Never said it would not move lol. With the 3600 stall I have I don't like the 4th gear and 40 speed feeling it has. It feels like it shifts way to early and feels like a standard that is in to high of a gear.

Tunning has helped a lot but I find myself manually shifting most of the time now.

Maybe you guys could post your shift points and stuff eh?
