what torque converter should i get... i was just wondering if a "TH-200 4R Competition Converter 9" Non Lock Up" torque converter with a 3000-4000rpm stall would be good if i have a cam with a Duration 292/300, Lift .584/.579, and a Basic Operating RPM Range of 2,200-6,200?
or, would a "TH-200 4R Heavy Duty Super Torque Converter 10" non- lockup," torque converter with a 2400-2800 RPM stall be just as good?
just trying to know if i could save a little bit of money, or go for the bigger one if it will work quite a bit better
thanks

Well first you didn't tell us what car you have?????
Second the LT1 cars(this is the LT1 section) did not come with TH-200 trannies, they came with 4L60E for the automatic. So you are looking at the wrong transmission unless you are working on something different then you need to tell us that.
The cam you choose was a poor choice the rpm range is completely wrong, the XFI 292 is well covered here. Comp lists the RPM range as if the motor had a gen 1 intake, reality with the LT1 intake is if your heads are good it can peak over 7000rpms in a 350 neither the stock shortblock or the computer will handle that.
If you are going to stick with that mistake of a cam you are going to need to give it a good bit of stall, most bolton cars that are quick run something 3200rpms+ with the stock cam, so imagine what a cam that big needs???.
non-lockup is a very poor choice too unless it is a strictly track car

Just saw your other thread on having a 95 Z28.
So basically you picked the wrong cam, are wrong about what tranny you have, are wrong about picking non-lockup.
You are off to a very very bad start and need to stop everything right now and find a mentor before you try and move forward with any more purchases or mods.

Sounds like you have a lot of researching to do before modding your car. If you already have that cam in the car I'd at least go with a 4000. I really like yank my old car with an ss3600 drove just as tight as my new car with a cheap restalled stock converter set to 2500 rpms and it hit the tires hard at wot.
Cars gonna be a terd down low though. I hope you have a decent bottom end that can turn some rpms.

alright, i went ahead and bought a different torque converter for my car, i knew nothing about them when i posted this but now i do, the products i listed i have not bought yet, i realise now that cam is way too big, all i have now is exhaust and a torque converter, and a right one, 2600 stall, and lock up, i just need to know what cam would be good with that torque converter and stock heads, though i will be buying a cam kit and other parts as well, i still do not know what cam i am getting
thanks
and my car is a 1995 z28 camaro, 4L60E trani

i actually know a lot about converters now thank you though, there is only one more that has a higher stall than the one i chose for my transmission, but i do not need one with a stall higher than i got, granted, if i were to modify the **** out of my car i would buy a higher stall, but i don't need one with a stock car and just a cam, which i wont be getting one as big as i listed
based on the fact that 4 days ago you didnt even know what trans you had in the car, and now that you do you ordered a 2600 stall... im still saying you dont know anything about converters, cams, or the lt1 platform.

OP, take a step back here...these guys are trying to help you save some frustration and money. God knows I speak from the "spent too much on stuff that didn't work out as bitchin' as I thought" platform.

haha, guys, wtf, i originally posted something asking if those would work, i've always known what trani i have since i got the car, i didn't know about torque converters so i went to a place called lg motorsports and they said i should get that torque converter, [never hearing of that kind before], so i thought i would post it on here asking if it would work, evidently it wouldn't so i didn't get one and got one for my car, as for cams, yes i still don't know much about, which is why i haven't bought one yet, i know a lot about how to work on cars, i do it all the time on my car and other friends f-body's and others as well, but i just don't know much about cam specs and which is right for my car, so far no one has even tried to help, but if there is anyone else out there that does know about cams, feel free to send some specs of cams that would be good
thanks

I've got a hotcam with around a 2500-3000 stall and they work great together. Is if the quickest setup on the street. No.
But it is a very fun, street friendly setup that can blow the pony emblems off 2v mustangs and 5.0s.
