Choosing a torque converter
Finally finished my 383 build and got her started the other day It's a bit of an old school build, but should be awesome for the street. 383 stroker LT1, stage 2 heads, CC306 cam, built 700R4 trans.
I was planning on going with 373's for gears, and the stall I have in the car now was set for 2600-2800. I was checking out Lloyd Elliots website, and here's what it says for a similar cam...
"Choppy idle. Good mid range and top end power. Minimum 2800 stall and 3.42 gears for F and Y body. Comparable to Comp 306 cam."
Will having a lower stall effect the potential of this cam that much? The car is going to be mainly street driven with some occasional track time. I wouldn't mind upgrading to a higher stall in the future, but what should I go with if I do?
