What size stall?
What size stall? I was wondering what size stall to get. I was thinking about getting a 3,000 stall it's going on a 383 stroker with a cc306 cam that will be my daily driver. I have never had a car with a stall, say if I get a 3000 stall just driving normal around town how many rpm's would it turn to get going? I now if I stab it it will flash to 3000. Is a 3000 big enough for a cc306? I want it to be very steetable.
Though some will say more ,Since you have never had a stall I think the 3000 will be ideal

That is a bit of a loaded question. Knowing that the car will be your DD is important. But what is more important is knowing where the cam begins to make power. Point is that if it starts making torque at say 2400 rpm then a 3k stall converter is not ideal, not bad but not ideal. In that example you would want it to flash near the 2400 rpm range. I am not atall sure about the cam / engine combination you have chosen. Your engine builder / tuner will help with that decision.
Generally speaking though, a converter that flashes to 3000 - 3400 should provide decent driveability on the street for the combination you have described.
Good Luck with the combination!

Then I would reconsider the higher stall.... what makes perfect sense to me is to take the stock converter to a good converter shop in your area and have them "max" it out. It will wind up somewhere around 2300 - 2600 rpm. 2600 might be on the high end for that 13" converter. And then again a smaller 10" unit would be less rotating mass... less weight. Either way I would keep the flash stall around 2500 rpms so that you can enjoy the full benefits of your chosen camshaft profile.
Should not require any reprogramming. And should not require extra parts.

i find it funny that most people you talk to think that a 3000 stall wont move from a stop till you rev it to 3000 rpm,,, i dont know how many times this comes up in conversation
i would go with the 3000, i have a west coast converter 10" 3000 and it drives fine

I had a Tci 3500 in my LT1 with bolt ons and went 12.70s easy.
Id say 3200-3600 should be ideal
