I've got a 3400 stall in my '02 SS with 3.23 gears with a 224 cam and it is just about perfect (actually see about 2600 w/foot brake, and 3100 if I flash it). It makes a hell of a difference from the stoplights! But you will probably need to get some drag radials because with street tires and those 3.73s you'll probably send them up unless you slowly roll into it.

For your LT1, probably somewhere in the 2800-3200 range.

not to thred jack but i got a question

But you will probably need to get some drag radials because with street tires and those 3.73s you'll probably send them up unless you slowly roll into it.
i know what the w/footbrake is but what does it mean to "flash" it

Floor the pedal from idle. Flash is the RPM it will jump to before you move. It will be near impossible to tell with the stock tach.
