Matching a Converter with a Cam I'm planning on installing the CC503 Cam 220/230 .536/.544 112lsa with 1.6RR on my '95 Formula and want to make sure I get a good converter to match. The cam makes power between 1800-5800 RPM and my car has the stock 3.23's. Seems like Yank seems to be highly regarded so here's a couple I've been looking at:
Yank Stealth 2800 298mm, 2800 Stall, 1.90 STR
Yank Stealth 3000 298mm, 3000 Stall, 1.95 STR
Yank Super Stock 3200 245mm, 3200 stall, 2.1 STR
Which one would be the best considering its my daily driver yet I want to get the best gains I can at the track without sacrificing driveability? I also want a converter that will help me on a roll as well. Any other converters you would recommend please share

Of the three I'd go SS3200. The Stealth are probably
not as efficient and definitely heavier. They will hit the
tires softer (STR) but 3.23s will still make the tires your
weak link for traction.

I think the SS would work best for a cammed DD N/A car.
The actualy stall speed is something you can talk to Yank about.
Call em up, they told me what I needed to know after a few simple questions.
FWIW, I went with an SS4000 with my setup (also a DD), mine peaks about 500rpm higher than yours.
I think a 3200 would cause you to bog off the line.

None of those stalls are too big for a that cam, so go with the largest you feel comfortable with. They are all to small to really help on a highway race, but will help when you race from a slow roll.

I know that PI (Vig) suggests a converter for street strip applications stall between 500-700 rpm (even as much as 900 rpm) below the torque peak of the motor...Yank should be able to set you up...I'd call them...
