Default MS3 Cam / Converter Combo

I am wondering, with an MS3 cam, how much my 3600 stall converter is going to hurt me. Most people seem to agree that I'd be better off with a 4000-4400 stall with this cam. Is that true? If so how much am I really hurting 1/4 mile-wise? This is a DD car and I love the converter on the current setup. MS3 is going in this weekend.

For a DD street car that sees some track time, I'd stick with your 3600rpm stall as opposed to 4K+!

Cool thanks guys, I guess with the bottle I probably want a lower stall than a 4000 or so anyway.

I ran a TCI BILLET STELL. 3500 w/ ms3 and partriot heads was great on the street but only stalled to 3000 off the line with N20. But produced a 10.14 with a 200 shot
