I am in the process of building up my second gen and needed some advice for a stall converter.
Its a street car with the occasional track day. The motor will be making around 400-450. It will have a set of 3.42s. I originally was looking at a 2400 stall but now am leaning more towards a 3000. Its a th-350 and my question is if i get a bigger stall will it still be streetable and with a higher stall will that just blow the tires off on the line?

thanks in advance

 

get a 2800 Vigilante..you will love it.

 

um, omcar... why are they pink?

 

I'm sorry, I don't have an answer as to why they are pink but reading this made me laugh. Maybe the guys over at PI really like the color of bubblegum . I've been trying to figure out what stall won't destroy my street tires too, although we are in 2 completely different situations..best of luck!

 

I daily drove a 3600vig with 3.73's for 2 years and loved every second of it. Id go higher then a 3000. Its easy to blow the tires away if you want to but you wont if you don't mash it.

 

At FTI Competition Converters we can build a converter that will drive
like a 2500 rpm stall but actually stall at 3200 rpm. We do this by running a little lower Stall Torque Ratio. This also helps keep the tires planted on the launch as it does not hit so hard.

Because real men drive pink.

 

do you guys make stalls for th-350's?

i did take a peak at your website but only saw things for the 4th gens

 

I daily drive a yank SS3600

 

edge 3200 here...... but, more importantly what's your motor details, vehicle weight, tire you will be using etc etc. surely we would need that info for anyone to suggest a stall speed.

 

sure thing. Its a first gen sbc made between 1977-1985. Its bored .30 over to a 355, kb domed pistons, solid roller cam 230/236 .552/.564, aluminum heads, dual plan intake, holley 650, headers. pushing between 400-450 hp and between 450-490 torque at the crank.
th-350 red eagle clutches, shift kit, deep pan, cooler.
8.5 differential with 3.42s and eaton posi
weight is 3600 lbs.
current tire is a 225/70/r15 (will have a set of track tires not sure on the size and will be getting a wider set out back)

This will be my dd but only for 6 months at the most
thanks again

 

This would be the best choice, FTI converters work great on the street. It is tighter then my Yank SS3600 was for daily driving.
My 3800 FTI drives like a 3000 stall on the street but runs 1.45 60' at the track with sticky tires.

Every FTI is built to your combo.....not off the shelf, and the performance is second to none. We have run one of the top winning teams in the big$ bracket circuit throughout the Eastern US and have installed, run, and raced most of the known brands through the years and the FTI is far & away the best we have seen not only in performance, but the service & turnaround if a restall is needed.

Last LSX shootout winner runs a RevXtreme/FTI:

looks like you guys will be hearing from me in a few weeks
