Default Need Help Picking stall

Ok here it is people,
I pretty much know very little about stalls no matter how much i read about it. I've had people explain it to me and i guess i understand it but i probably need to experience one for myself.

Ne ways, Im looking to buying a stall for my a4 camaro. Im wondering what i should get. i hear 3200 -3500 is good for a street car. thats what im looking for. ALso whats envolved in installing the stall? anything extra needs to be purchased?

For the future, i plan to go with Long Tubes, cated y, mild cam 224 224 112 probably. i also plan to do the ls6 intake too. so im bascilly starting off slow and want to go bigger later on.
i want a stall now for some fun

Sum it up: I want a stall, what kind of stall and at what stall speed. Also what is envolved in installing a stall. What other parts will i need besides the stall.

thanks for the help people.

i'd say for what you've got, get a 3500 (give or take a little).
good brands include fuddle, yank, precision industries, and many more (those are just the most popular).
the only other thing you'll need is a tranny cooler ($50 anywhere)

Default what size for my mods

just want some input on what you think i could safely run on the 4l60e i have a 00 convertible t/a ws6, turbonetics t66 pushing 7-7.5 lbs, intercooled and methanol injected, i have the lame 2:73 gears, and just wondering what a safe stall for my setup on this transmission would be, at least so i dont trash it and safely stall higher until i can buy a race tranny.

Get ahold of John at Fuddle Racing, or go to their website and fill out their "which converter for me" form. He'll recommend the best converter for your setup, and he's very helpful.

if money isn't an issue get a vig or yank, if vig get a 3200 because it stalls higher to around 3600, if yank try a 3600, if money is an issue look into tci or fuddle

IMO, a converter makes a huge difference down the road. Invest your money in a good converter. Yank, Vigilante, fuddle. go big now so that you don't regret it later.

It depends how you drive and how you tune it. It could be anywhere from a 0-5mpg difference.
