stock stall is about 1800 rpm.you will need a tune.are you installing the needed springs and push rods?it is alot easier to install a converter with the engine and tranny out.

You should go ahead and get another TC with a higher stall right now. I picked up a TCI 3500 for about 500 new and it worked fine with my old cam, which is similar to the V3.

We typically don't recommend putting that much cam in an auto without a converter. Driveability will be bad with out one. It will try and die when you put it in gear and will be pushing through the brakes at idle. I would save up some extra cash and put one in while you are doing the other mods. Also, I didn't see where you said above, but you MUST install springs and pushrods with that cam!
