ok im definately going with a 5k+ now, but i cant get my 2800 to lock up?? could it be the switch on the brake pedal? i was told that could be it

 

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.

 

the tranny is fully built for 1500+hp it does lockup but not very hard

 

A 4L60E to hold 1,500 HP? What did they do??!

 

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...) ?

 

You mean the 5k+ stall? Just fine. mine still has a stock cam in it. It doesn't 60' like it should but the MPH is there. 11.04@ 122 w/ 1.54 60'

 

ok ive decided to go with a ~5200 or so, im calling precision first thing monday morning, thanks for the help guys

 

$10 says they tell you thats WAYYYYYY to big of a stall.

 

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

 

so will i be able to get that big of one through PI? if they are rated higher do i need to ask for a 5k?

 

not sure but i know that there 3200 stall stall around 3500-3600 ish, i would pm someone that has a vig to find out exactly or call the company
