stall converter i was gonna get a 4000 stall converter to go with a trex cam into my 99 xtreme s10. how does the stall work? i know rite now with my v6 its got a 1500 stall so when i brake torque the tires dont spin til 1500. is it the same principle with the 4000? how practical is this for daily driving? im guessing not

i replied in the other one you posted, but i see you got it to the right place. Here's what i said:
yes, the converter works the same way.
I might would go with something a little looser, like a 4200 or 4400.
And this can easily be daily driven as long as you get the lock up converter. You can drive it even if it's not lock up, but it's going to be irritating with the rpm's sitting so high all the time.

Thats what I was thinking you were doing, but you can never be sure 
. I didn't figure they'd started making cams for V6's. I've heard a TRex, and it sounded pretty damn good. It was a tossup between that cam and the FM-15 "Ron Jeremy" cam for my '69. I just went with the FM-15 instead.

DD = daily driver. and i think a 4k stall would be perfectly fine for that engine in an s-10...as the s-10 weighs considerably less than an f-body car. if you were to install that cam in an f-body, i would suggest a 4400 stall. the lighter the vehicle, the less stall speed is demanded.
