Most all will tell you to get between a 3K to 4K stall... Especially with a H/C car.

If its free, then why not install it.

If its a DD, I would do a 3200. Any bigger will just kill you MPG. I know it does on my 4K stall. But, mine is not a DD though.

Some guys say to go with a 3500, if you do, get some 3:73 and it will help. But, you will lose a little RPM on the highway but it will help with taking off.

No problem...

The main thing that contributes to bad gas mileage is keeping your foot off the gas. With a higher stall, it seems that its either WOT or nothing. LOL

Good luck.
