i got a 232/236 113 lsa cam for my 383 stroker lt1 and was wondering what stall size id need for it to run properly. thanks

 

What is the car going to be used for? Track or street? I'm no auto expert, but I would think that you'd want something in the range of a 3600+. A buddy of mine went straight to a yank SS4000 on his low boost Procharged LS1 and loved it.

 

Its gonna be used as a DD. Just want a stall to support my cam thats all.

 

Well in a 383 that cam is not overly large (good thing). Do you have a dynograph of the current set up or are you putting the converter in at the same time as the cam install?

 

I am putting the stall in while swapping the cam

 

If this is your first stall converter and a cam only car you will probably want something closer to the 3000-3600 range. A lot of the members here prefer higher stall converters(as do I) and will recommend as such but for a first timer/daily type setup we recommend this range.

If you go with one of the 9.5" billet converters they come with 1 year 1 free restall so we can always adjust the converter to your liking once you have a feel for how a stall converter will drive.

Shoot me a PM or email if you would like further help picking out a converter.

Circle D all the way.

 

How high you going to be spinning your motor ?

I would say no smaller than a 3600.

Where in Minnesota you at?

 

6500.. Monticello

 

My 6.0 (364ci) has a 227/234 cam, also a 113LSA. I went FTI 3200 single disk (SRLS0082) and love it. It feels perfect for the car/cam. My tuner made a comment that he really likes how it locks up. My car isn't a DD, but I tend to sit in a lot of traffic. Any higher stall would have been too much for the stop and go that I run into. If you daily yours, this would be a good choice IMO.

 

What rear gear?

 

Just from my recent experience FTI is giving you some good advice, On my first converter ever purchase I went with the Circle D billet series at 36-3800, my converter just got restalled last week to 30-3200 (also free) because mine is also just a DD and I preferred it tighter. Can't wait to get the car back!!

 

Give CircleD,FTI and Yank a call. Explain what you have and how you will use it. Be honest with them and they will tell set you up with what you want

 

welcome fellow frozen tundra artic circle driver. i have a 3k stall & kinda wish i'd gone with 3600. (most bang for your buck). pop for the billet convertor then hang on! cheers!

 

My setup is 3.23s' and stock engine(no mods,do much travelling and want the reliability of stock).
2006 put in a TCI 2800(big mistake,a stock off the shelf unit),very loose in city and top end. 2011 put in a Yank SS3600(the tranny was being replaced due to a broken sprag and since the tranny was out,a good time to put in the Yank). Very tight in city driving. Neither convertor was 'tuned' as it's strictly a street/DD. Never had any codes thrown or questionable unusual shift points,whatever was in the computer was fine.
I've let other locals(that had concerns about how high a stall to go/fear of higher stall) drive it in city traffic. ALL were amazed how 'tight' it is and no annoying higher rpm slippage. One was coming from a TCI 3000 'streetfighter' and how his 3000 is loose compared to the tightness of my SS3600.

 

Most reputable converter companies have a spec form you can fill out and that should get you close enough

 

There's a reason I wen't FTI and not TCI.

 

I am running 373s
