Good Stall? and some other things. I am new here and I have been doing a lot of reading around on the forums.. I have just got my Z28 and I haven't driven it yet because the engine is not in it..
It's a 383 and it currently has an LPE GT11 on it.. a lot of people have been saying that the GT11 is a nice good cam for the street, does a nice rumble but not as crazy as the MS3... The previous owner has sold the stall converter so I need to get a new one..
What's a good stall to accompany an automatic tranny with a 3.73 diff and a GT11 cam rumbling inside?...
And what's a good stall to accompany an MS3..
I'm looking for consistent amount of power and torque all the way to the redline ..
This is my first ever american car and I am not well aware of the technicality in this car and how it operates completely...
The car already has a Ceramic Coated headers and I have been opted for Powder Coated headers.. I know google is my best friend with this.. but under personal experience which do you think is better overall??
That's it for the questions now... I would appreciate your technical and professional feedback regarding this...
I need to do a lot of reading to understand those engines!!

It's is good to know that you have seen the light. 
What are the specs on the cam??
How much street vs. track time are you expecting??
A lot of guys on here will recommend a 3600-4000 stall but I did not want that much for the street. I have a 3200 (2.3-ish torque multiplication) with my 226-230 111LSA 107ICL cam for 98+% street use.

The cam is 215/231 .631" / .644" (118 ICL)... Some sort of a baby cam (Im running patriot stage 2 heads)..A friend of mine is running MS4 239/242, .649"/.609" with 3200 converter with the same heads.
Well, this won't really be my DD and it won't be a track car.. it will mostly be a weekend car and I would love to own some M powered cars on the road with this... So, this car will be used mostly for the street..Some people have suggested 2800.. I am getting 2 different worlds in responses haha..
I am not really well aware of why they were suggesting 2800 and why I am being suggested with 4000 here... How will the car perform with those?
I am still puzzled about the MS3 cam and the GT11.. how much of a hassle it would be if I get to fit a new cam in the car?

Welcome to the Forum and let me be the first to tell you, you posted in the wrong thread!
https://ls1tech.com/forums/automatic-transmission-13/
and you will be good with a 3200-3600 stall. i think 4000 is too big. but some will recommend a 4k anyways.
