Is a 3600 vig too much of a stall for a bolt on LT1? my plan was to go with a 3600 vig stall for my bolt on LT1... but then a few people have been telling me it is too much of a stall for my car since it is only a bolt on LT1... so what do u all think? will a 3600 maximize my performance or overkill it?
If you are set on the vig, you need to call them and see what thet suggest. Give them specs on your car, intended usage, and your performance goals. They are the professionals. Put the pressure on them to provide you with a product that suits your needs.
I'd call Vig but there 3600 is more like a 4000 which is real big, LT1's torque curves come in sooner than LS1's so we don't need as much stall as them. Where are your shift points set at? For ex. Yank's SS4000 which is very similar to the Vig 3600 has a shift extension around 5300rpm. I shift at 6400rpm with my cam so that converter is a nice match for me. If your shifting at the stock 5700rpm then that is a horrible converter to use. The Yank SS3600 has an extension at around 4900 which is also a great choice for me which is what I went with because I want to run Nitrous so the lower extension is a better choice but even that is too big if your shifting at the stock shift points.
