What size stall?
My car is a 1998 Z28 with 3.23 gears, mostly stock except for intake, maf and cat back. Will 2300-2500 stall be good? Going to get new gears soon.
Just wanna get some feedback.

a 4.10 gear with an A4 is overkill. save your money and keep your 3.23 gears. with our short tires and low first gear in the 4l60e you're good. I put a generic 2800 in my car years ago and am changing to a SS3600 soon. Its in the box in my garage as we speak. wish I had done it back then

I had a ss3600 with all the mods in sig and was awesome. Got it to 10.9. Got a circle-d 1e 4k stall now but haven't been to the track yet. I'm kicking myself for not doing the 2e which is like a 4200-4400 stall. I feel barely any difference from the 3600 to this 4k stall.

Stall is dependent on torque and load.
Later with heads and cam you will want 3600 stall if you buy a 3200 stall now it may well stall at 3600 later when you put more power into it.
Also far as "what size stall" you want a 9.5" from a company like Yank, Vigilante, Circle D, Edge. Not some $450 POS.

Yep still 10bolt with 3.73 and it howls a good tune LOL.
It was stupid good around -1000 but still a low 11s car all day. Also like I said it was with the ss3600 not sure what the cd 1e 4k will do now. The tune is a little different now. The tuner picked the car up 20rwhp down low somewhere somehow so might be a big improvement we will see.
Driving a 4k+ stall on the street is not a big deal at all. Like most newbies I was afraid of going too big to. Its really only a few rpm higher.
If I was to do it again I would have gone triple disk 4k-4400.

Had a vigilante 3200.. drove like stock. Than switched it to a circle D 5c 4k stall and it absolutely rips. it drove just as good as my 3200.
I sold that car and picked up another fbody.. I put in another circle D 5c converter. Its easy to drive.
A 4000 stall is not overkill. It drives very smooth. I wouldnt waste my money on a 3600. I would go 4000.

Have a 3600 from FTI with the stock 3.23 gears and I think it's good for me. Not sure if you want to go with the 4000 with no experience. Bigger gears and a cam are supposed to tighten it up some but a 3600 is sometimes too big for some people.
