Default 2500 Stall.. Is it a waste of time?

Is putting in a 2500 stall a waste of time? I have no cam for now and plan on one in the future. I was offered a 2500 stall, should I put it in?

When you say offered do you mean someone is going to give you the converter? If so I would take it and let TCI restall it. It would be cheaper than buying a new converter. Just a thought.

It's being given to me. It's brand new, my buddy never used it. How much to have it done by TCI?

What should I have it restalled to? I have 4:10's, 100 shot, and I'll be more than likely putting in a tr224 112.

yah you'll probably blow through a 2500 stall with that. is that a 10" converter or a modded stock one? That might limit your upgrades.

hell with the spray i'd say go for it (Free). But when the cam comes you'll need a real 'verter. And post pics when you baloon that verter they look funny as hell when that happens.
