How do you know its not locking up? Checked the tranny tune recently for preset lockup points? Have you changed diff gears and/or tyre size and not rescaled the speedo?

I would get the tranny looked at and get that problem solved before even thinking about a bigger stall. These big stalls are hard on the tranny(higher heat) and if you already have a problem whith it now it's a good bet it's going to go out with the higher stall. Also remember to put the biggest tranny cooler you can find for a 5000+ stall when you do it.

Probably lied to him.
But if it can REALLY hold that much power it must have cost 4k minimum.

yikes 5000+ stall... that just seems crazy for a DD car! but i wouldnt know i haven't changed my stall yet... i plan on doin it in the near future, but the highest i was lookin at was like 3800... how would a stall like that be on a car with a stock cam (temporarily... til i got more money...) ?

Thats what I was thinking, I'm still new to the Auto section but I've never heard of a 1,500HP capable 60. And even if it can hold it, doubt its the most cost effective 1,500HP tranny out there.

good luck with the stall, remember that vig. converter stall higher than they are stated, it sounds like it will match perfect with that cam....can't wait to see some numbers
