Default What size stall is best??

getting ready to move forward in the build of my 95 z28. Car has basic boltons now. Wanna order a stall converter in the next couple of days. Going in with the stall is 3.73 gears and a trans cooler. Trans already has transgo shift kit. Future plans are a mild cam (lt4 or cc503) Thanks

This comment is NOT directed at anyone or anything in this thread directly.

That said be very cautious about listening to reviews unless you can see some evidence of verification of the opinion.

LOTS of guys are very happy with pure garbage just because they don't know any better, most of us have been guilty of it at one point.

Ignore input from the retards who say, "I just called so and so vendor and placed an order, it is the best stuff ever", some of those guys later come back with HUGE problems with that best stuff ever they hadn't yet handled before proclaiming it great.

I run a 9.5" 3600 stall with just bolt ons and my car runs very well. I was able to cut a 1.6 60' with a stock (unopened) motor.

Stall is dependent on input torque, a 3200stall now might endup 36-3800stall once you start modding the engine

Agreed with these two.

I would say.....nothing below 3000 stall and nothing above 3600 stall; TC case should be 9.5".

I've never had an Edge TC.....can't really comment on them; but I have ran Yank and Vigilante.....and I recommend going with one of these companies. They are high quality pieces that tend to be a bit tight under normal driving, but flash very aggressively when you hit the gas hard.

BTW.....I just happan to have a 3200 stall Vigilante for sale......
