Cam with stock converter in an Auto = Slow, Boggy Car that sounds like it has a cam and doesn't back up it's bark.

Cam with a higher stall converter in an Auto = Much Quicker, Meaner Car that can make tire fire! And backs up it's bark.

I would contact the sponsors they can give you recommendations on what to choose to suite your goals.

What normal driving are you talking?
I meant that normal driving (not racing) it will lock at 38mph and I would have to disagree that its close to stock while unlocked because its not close to stock lol. BUT, it isnt bad at all and well worth it.

The thing is...when a stall first goes in we can feel the difference and its def not stock. But after driving it for a while, the not so stock feeling goes away from being used to have to give the car more rpm to get moving. This is why everyone says "drives like stock" lol

It makes me laugh now to see these "it drives like stock" posts because if anyone can honestly say their car "drives like stock" after a stall then they either dont have an aftermarket stall or you just dont have a feel for your car. If you dont have a feel for your car you might as well go with a 5000 stall because you will just end up saying it "drives just like stock" anyway.

Just keepin it real

I only noticed slightly more RPM. I do have 3.73s tho so I dunno. You're right it's not stock but it's also not as bad as people make it out to be. Maybe if I had stock gears I'd feel differently.
