Gonna feel like driving through mud at first, like the car doesn't wanna go. But when you get near the stall speed it will start to push the car really well.

Depends on mileage for rebuild if your lower I wouldn't worry just get a good tranny cooler. As for what to expect - it will makes the car pull a lot harder.

Expect to beat up on cars with more power at stop lights. You better get some stickier tires if you really wanna take advantage of the stall. Even from a highway roll the car will improve. Mine did anyway.
The driving through mud feeling just dosent exist anymore but It just takes a little more throttle to get the car moving during normal driving than it did with the stock stall. Its really not a big deal at all. You will love the performance.
The car improved...
.212 in the 60'
.463 and 1.28 mph in the 1/8 mile
.551 and 2.06 mph in the 1/4 mile
I love the fact I gained 2mph from a stall that even my tuner said I would most likely lose mph in the 1/4. Not bad gains huh?
I installed this last march and put about 12k on it. Im guessing 20-30 track passes with tons of wot on the street. The trans is stock with almost 105k on it now. It runs great knock on wood.

Expect to have to figure out how to drive the car again. And tires don't stand a chance anymore.

Run a good cooler, and your trans should be ok. Im running an SS3600 with my FLT trans, and it HATES my back tires!! I LOVE driving with this stall.

Street tires are about useless. I can only get junk all seasons in 295/50r15 so anything close to half throttle from a stop will make it spin.

Do you have a Yank SS3600?

I am thinking somewhere between a 3200-3600 for myself either Yank or CD, problem is that while I want a 3600 the cams I am looking at are better at midrange and ramp up faster so I don't want to lose useable power by going with a higher stall. My DD has a little issue where at a light when it turns green I'll press the gas and the car doesn't want to move sometimes until I add pressure to the pedal, I look at it as training for when the new TC is purchases for the Formula

With a bolt on car and a stall, just exhaust, intake, etc, is it neccessary to have it tuned? I'd rather not tune it until I throw my heads and cam on, but if it needs a tune then I'll just throw everything on at once if that makes sense, no need to pay for 2 tunes when one is going on shortly after the other. Just wanted to try to drive the car to make sure everything goes smoothly with the stall before I put the h/c and possibly have more issues than what I want to deal with at once.

It depends on where your rev limiter is set and how high of a stall speed converter you get. The converter will likely make you hit rev limiter like mine did so you will have to get retune. It will not hurt to drive it easy on your stock tune though.
