Which RPM Stall?
im gonna run a vig. 3200 stall. the biggest i would go is a 3600. but i want something nice and tight, since my car is a daily driver and will never, ever, ever see the track. ive heard of people even running a 2800 stall. i cant see myself hooking up at a 4 way intersection, at a light with a 4k plus stall... lol..

You probably all ready knew that but just in case.
I ordered a Vig 2800-3000 from Speed Inc and it stalls up to 3600. Vig is very conservative with their stall ratings. By at least 500 rpms. Takes about 2500 rpm's to get up and going at a decent clip with traffic.

tci 3500 for something tight and "dd" my buddy had a 3800 and tuned felt great. but since then he has a 4800 and im running a 4400. just depends on what you call driveable

The stock stall is 1800 so when you nail the gas your rpm's jump to 1800 and climb from there. With a 3200 stall when you nail the gas it'll jump to 3200 rpm's and climb from that point. This is part of why a big stall makes us so much quicker in the quarter mile. The LS1 makes more power at 3000+ rpm's. The 3000+ stalls usually have a shift extension of 4200-4700. This means that after the 1-2 and 2-3 shift you only fall down to that rpm (4200-4700) and begin the climb from there (again higher rpm's is where we make more power). But that's under racing or WOT conditions. Under part throttle you'll need to give it a little more gas to get moving but a 3200 stall will not be bad at all. It'll almost feel stock. At slow speeds (under 40 mph) I can still sit at 1800 rpm's. At cruising speeds over 40 mph the converter locks and it drives like it did when stock.
It takes about one week to get used to a 3000-3800 stall. After that you wonder how the hell you lived so long without it
i might have overread it but i didn't see the specs on your cam. One big thing is making sure you get it dynoed or even just base your TC off of the way that cam peforms. You want to make sure your TC will get you into the powerband of your car at the points you want quickly. That said Whatever size you get, get a yank.

I paid $275 for mine to be installed. Next to the money spent on the converter itself, it was the best money I ever spent
