Default Camshaft input

I have a CAM DYNAMIC CAMSHAFT 229/244 .615/.597 LSA 117 I cant find any information as to decide what stall converter to use. I have a turbo 400 and 373 gearing. If any one has any information it would be helpful.

Cam Motion has a similar cam called "Stealthy Stroker LS Camshaft (230/242-117+5) for Rectangle Port". They recommend a 2800-3600 stall. I'll add a link because there's more info that might help.

You dont need that much of a split duration on a TFS 215 cathedral head. The intake/exhaust ratio is superior to most heads out there. You will do better with something like a 232/234 cam vs a 229/244 cam.

That cam only has 2.5 degrees of overlap. It should have a fairly smooth idle. I would use a 3000-3200 stall for regular street use. If you want something more "racy", then you can always go higher. I just wouldn't go lower than 3k.

at least a 3000, possibly higher depending on if youre trying to get the most out of it at the track or just easy drivability, i would call Circle D, FTI or another well known converter manufacturer for their recommendation

Just to be clear for the OP, if you put in a cheapo 3000 stall, it will feel loose and be annoying to drive. If you put in a high quality 3600 stall, it will take off and drive almost the same as a factory converter in normal driving. There really is that much difference between the good companies and the generic cheap converters, and that is without even considering balance or longevity.
