what is the duration of your cam if its 230+ on both sides I'd go the 4000+ stall range....

Yanks hit hard. For example a guy around here has one around a 35 or 3600 in his H/C car, pulls his stock 17" chrome wheel and hits a 12.1 @ 111 on an et street.
build your car right the first time.... yes it will take a little more money but it will be well worth it when good parts are installed properly... just take your time and be happy

stupid question, why so? To much load on it at low rpm and will make the car stall? ![LS1[CHEVY]'s Avatar](data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 50 50'><circle class='avatar-circle-default' fill='%234d8769' cx='25px' cy='25px' r='20px'></circle><text class='avatar-text-default' x='49%' y='53%' fill='white' text-anchor='middle' alignment-baseline='middle'>L</text></svg>)
