Default all around stall size?

what size stall would you suggest would be the perfect size stall for a TRUE STREET CAR DAILY DRIVER, that will NEVER SEE THE TRACK!! i was looking at a 3200 stall or maybe a 3600. some of the cams i looked into are mti g1, x1, tsp 228/228. i would only race my car on the freeways from a roll, or from a stoplight. i plan on going with 3.42 or 3.73 gears also..

What kind of tires? I would image street tires or possibly drag radials. For this you would need a soft STR like a 1.8 - 2.2 max. What other mods do you have or are planing on? Based on just those cam and speculating you have the supporting mods, I would say a 3600-4000 stall. Ideally a 4000 with a 2.0 would be good.

I have those wheels. Definitely get some good DR's. And trust me, once you get a stall, you will realize that no matter what stall you have, it's never big enough.

If you are going to run street tires I would stay with a 3500 stall and 3.23/.42 gears.
If you are going to run DR I would go with a 4000-4400 stall and 3.73 gears.

Have fun.

It sounds to me like you are a perfect candidate for a Vigilante 3200 stall converter. Do a search on Vig 3200 and convince yourself.

hey gold z, thats what i want to run is a 3200. thunder racing has told me to stick with a 3200 so that way its tight around town and stuff like that. everybody is telling me to go huge..lol... but my car is a street car. i want a nice quick street car. i hear the vigilante stall is under rated.. so a 3200 is like a 3400 or so.. i want to run 18x10.5 in the rear. i dont know what size dr will fit perfectly..but i do like the 3200 though.

i am gonna run with dr.. but which is better from a roll a big stall or little stall? i hear stay with a smaller tighter convertor while some say go bigger? i just cant imagine being at a stop light in a 4 way intersection with a 4k stall and trying to hook up.. thats insane.. i figure most of my races would be from a roll and from a stop light. i want to go 3200 but the 3600 would be my biggest..
