Got the Trex Cam Hello all, I just had a few questions. I just purchased a Trex Cam, got all the supporting mods for the engine. I bought longtubes and an Off-road Y pipe, SLP Lid, I just need to order my torque converter and 12 Bolt now. The only thing in my way is figuring out what size converter and gears to get. Would a 3600 stall and 3:73 gears be alright? Only current mods are an SLP cat-back and K&N filter. Just need suggestions on those 2 things.

Also, I may be wrong, but idk if that cam will clear your heads. What kind of car is it?

The best way to find out what stall is best for your car is to install all the parts you have and then have the car tuned and dynoed. Find where you are making peak torque at and for a street car you want the stall # to be 500-800 rpm less than where your peak torque came in (example: if you made peak torque at 4600rpm then you would want a stall converter built to about a 4000stall) if it is a racetrack only car then you would go 500-800 above where your peak torque is coming in at (example: if you are made peak torque at 4600rpm then you would want a 5200rpm stall converter). Hope this helps..
The only down side to doing it this way is after you get your stall you will have to get the car retuned. Most shops won't recharge you for this if they did the first tune (at least Futral didn't charge me anything extra). The other way you would want to go about doing this is call yank, Circle D or PTC and let them custom build you a converter for your car.

On the converter I'd go with a 4000 minimum and 3.90-4.11 gears depeding on your tire diameter.
