Default Stall question?

So I recently installed a cam in my 98 trans am. Everything else is stock except for the obvious parts that needed to get changed for the cam
What I want to know is what would be the size torque converter that is needed now! Any help is appreciated. I'm sure I will be asked what size cam? So it's a stage 2 hotcam. duration@ .050" : 225/236 valve lift: .525/.525' lSA: 110 degrees. With a power band from 2000 to 6500 rpm. Again, any help is appreciated

I had a 3800 circle d in my mark, which is a bit heavier. I loved it. Builds heat though so make sure you upgrade the cooler if you havent.

yup, this converter will match your setup good.

The yank ss3600 is definitely a very good all around converter but the pt4000 will give ya a little bit more.
