what will a stall do performance wise?
what will a stall do performance wise? i have a 98 transam i want to put a stall in my car its all stock and its my daily driver, how big of a stall should i go with and performance wise what will it do?
Definatley one of the first mods you should do. If its a daily driver, make sure to get a lock-up converter to help out with gas mi. Also, your gonna need a tranny cooler. B&M sells a good external mount cooler for about 75$. Tranny temps really increase with the addition of the stall. Will prolong the life of your tranny..

I highly recommend a stall for a LS1 car. It will dramatically increase performance with very little downside.
A properly built 3200 stall converter will still maintain great street manors. The 3200 means flash, meaning when you are WOT the RPM's will jump up to 3200 and the car will start to accelerate. Under light throttle, daily driving, it will drive almost like stock. If you take your foot off the brake while in gear, it will still move. It will take a little more throttle to get it moving, but nothing like you are thinking. The car will start moving with just a little gas. It is one of the best mods for the car dollar wise and guaranteed to put a big smile on your face. But as previously suggested, get some sticky tires.

ok thanks guys for all the help very useful info, definitely consider this mod, now i want one. who makes the best stall or preffered brand lock up converter for street, and is the tranny cooler universal or is there a special kit for the ls1?
Here's an in car video with a 3600 stall.

My personal recommendation is a Vigilante converter. Lots will recommend Yank as well. I will also say that the Circle D converters definitely look promising, I just don't have enough experience with or around them to say much.

damn i just read every post, got me wanting a stall. i need a smile on my face too...i will cam the car soon enough so im gussing a 3200-3600 lock up for me . i was going to go with a 224/224 or like cam.. my car is a dd aswell. but i like to peddle it too lots!
I used to run a Vig 3200 with a TR224 cam, and think it's a great combination for street/strip.
is TCI a good brand stall or is there better out there? Im lookin at their super street fighter 3500 stall. also want to put 3.73 gears when i do the stall also for some nice ETs
they are not recommended usually. i honestly wouldn't even look at anything that wasn't a yank, vig., or a circle d. just my opinion though. there is a reason why tci's cost less.
happy with my vig 3200 stall!! it does drive and feel like stock. its what i wanted. the car is all street and never will see the track so i didnt want to go with a huge verter.
