Yeah, 3600 seems like the general consensus around here. In fact, here is a video that I saw on here just a couple of days ago that shows how the 3600 behaves.

Trans cooler is a definite.

You may also want to consider getting a new flexplate. The good ones run about $150

3.73 gear is what I have. The stall is new to me bc I've never had one. I knew they helped from a dead stop but still trying to learn and understand how they work from a roll or normal driving

They put u closer to ur power band..look at dyno graphs around, lets use a 400 h.p. car as an example, it doesnt make 400 outta the gate it climbs thru rpms and maxes out, lets use 6000 rpms max as an example, so a stock stall mashed to the gas jumps u to 1200 rpms, where on a graph the car is making maybe 180 h.p., same ex; where as a 3600 stall, car instantly hits 3600rpms ish, may put u at 300 h.p.,along in both examples the torque is also higher = a harder hit, pulling harder etc..this help?

Makes more sense now. I was just always under the impression they would hurt drivability and racing from a roll on the street. Learn more and more everyday

Thanks for the info. It does help. You think a 3600 would be good for boltons and the 3.73 or should I go lower or higher

3600 would b just fine, its a great stall, even after most builds. remember its job is to put it into the powerband. check out the vendors here, Yank, Circle D, Vigilante, Performabuilt etc..
