Default G5X2 and Auto?

How big of a stall would be needed? At least a 3600-3800? How about gears? 3:73? Search did not yield very much info, so I thought I would check present opinions...

I have a TCS 4200. Not too bad. It's loose but you'll love it at WOT. I put down 410 & 380 and I only lost 7 rwhp when I changed from a Vig 3600 to the TCS and I have 3.73's also. It still surges a little( need more tuning) but it feels awesome.

BoneSS...get around ~3500 stall or higher...

A good n/a stall would probably be around a 4000 or so...

Thanks Mike. My Vig flashes around 3200-3400, so I thought that would be a little low for that cam.

Car idles fine, no shaking whatsoever, but the sound is very noticeable.

I still think it might be a little too big for what I have now. Would 373's help out?

g5x2's make good low end torque for being a decent size cam...i would install the cam, get it tuned, and then go run some times...look at your 60ft and slip and then determine if you want to get a bigger stall...

Car doesn't shake with the X2. Only the engine and shifter (if manual) will shake at idle .

would 3.42s suffice with a huge stall, ie 4000?
