Vig 3600 or a Yank SS4000 would be a good choice. The Yanks are good and tight but stall high when you want them too.

so if say my car runs a 12.9 before the stall then what do u think it would run with a 3600 stall in it since it will keep my cam in power band all the time and since last time i was at the track i have changed my tune so i dont redline until 6600 rpms just curious thanks for your help.

Check out yanks site you can find them from the sponsor list. Price will pretty much be the same no matter where you go unless you can find a sale or special going on for the month.

Don't forget to get a transmission cooler as well. It is required for any after market torque converter.

I would suggest the cooler even without a stall, certainly with it. Heat is a killer for autos, especially in Arkansas.

Yank has a special of the month. I'd see what they have for the month and go from there. First off, your 60' time will be lower than with your stock stall and about 2-3 mph higher up top. It's a guess tho.

Yeah converters are the ****. Just make sure that you get the cooler and a pair of drag radials, you won't hook with street tires. Once the converter locks up, the car will feel like it did before you changed to a higher stall.

After the converter and a pair of drag radials my 60' went from a 2.0 to a 1.70 with just a lid and catback as supporting mods. Time went down by a full second but that took a few trips to the track to get it done right. Just practice and have fun.

What size cam and what intake are you running. You should for sure be low 12's with some stickys and a 3600 stall.
