Default need someone quick!!

I ordered a converter tonight (vigalante) and told um a 3k stall. My car is a lt1 camaro. 4.10 gears, nitrous, on a tire. cam soon to come. Should i get maby a 3200, 3500, or the 3k enough. lt1's dont rev. like a ls1 so i dont wanna get out of my torque range. Its not a daily driver, weekend race/track car. So drivabilty is not a issue. So i can change the stall till tomm. morning. Should i stay with the 3k or go a little higher. i only wanna buy a $750 converter once.

my opinion is since you are using spray the 3000 should be fine.

Thats a tough decision.
But you asked for opinions so here is mine.
Go Bigger.
I run a Coan 4K Nitrous converter, TH400, with a currently stock internal 162k LT1 with bolt ons.
I have an LT1 manifold setup for direct port nitrous but its not complete yet so its just running on this tired motor.
If your going to be running alot of nitrous then maybe a 3k stall will be fine but if your like me the car will run on the motor 95 percent of the time. You will love the bigger stall that 95 percent of the time.

It's your car, so ultimately it's your decision.
If it were me I would do at least a 3500 stall and seriously consider 4000.
Its nothing to run a BIG stall in a lockup converter.
Hell, I run a 4000 in a non lockup. To be honest though once you do this you have to be hardcore to drive it everyday.
I have no HVAC or power steering and I consider myself hardcore, and I don't want to drive it everyday.
With a lockup converter it would be more liveable but your still getting into the realm of the weekend warrior.
Of course its all subjective, it just depends on what you can handle.
Good luck, you will love the stall.
