Stall benefit to bigger cam
Stall benefit to bigger cam So I know that you are supposed to match the stall you have to the cam and its power band, and pretty much any non-baby cam (<220/220) is pretty much recommended you get a higher stall than stock.
I get how stalls work for the most part, in they get you in the powerband quicker by flashing higher and then keep you in the powerband after upshifts by not dropping as much.
But for part throttle, is the same reasoning the case? As in if I'm going from a stop say 50% throttle, will the car feel more sluggish with a bigger cam and stock stall? Do even medium cams cause that much loss in low end torque (<3000) that you need a higher stall to get you out of the sluggish zone?
Also, say I'm at 65mph and I decide to go WOT and the transmission downshifts to 2nd at around 5000rpm...how is a recommended 3000-3600 stall going to help me then over a stock stall? I mean I'm already in the meat of the powerband so even with a medium cam the stock stall would get me at 5000rpm.
