For a Bolt on LT1 which stall? ok i want to go for the bolt on LT1 record eventually... i dont have full bolt ons yet but will... what stall should i get for my vig? 3200? 3300? 3400? 3500? 3600?
With that being said, it will depend on your tire size and gearing.
**edit** To put it in perspective, I run a tenth or so quicker in my DD but needed ported heads and a custom cam to do it. Many people do not even get that quick with a H/C. With bolt-ons I was only able to squeeze a modest 12.8 on salad shooters w/DR's. Suspension is key to great ET's!
I also agree. To break the bolt on record you will need a lot of gear, big stall, super light weight, a great suspension, and a perfect tune. I wouldn't expect it to happen with a dd unless you are super hardcore.
As for your converter, I remember a post where Shon Herron stated that he had planned to swap his T-56 for a TH350 and a 3500 Vig, but his motor expired before he got around to doing the swap.
I'm building mine into a light weight bolt on car and also plan to use a TH350, but I will probably go with an ATI converter. When it comes time to pick the converter I will use whatever they recomend for my set up.
BTW, I voted for the 3300, because of the 3.06 first gear ratio of the 4L60E that you are using. I believe that with too much stall you will blow right past the torque curve of the stock cam.

We've gotten off topic, but I'll chime in. When Lane (of Lane's true duals) had one of the fastest stock internal LS1 Camaros, he was running with a 4400 stall. Pretty sure it was a Yank, FWIW. I drove the car on the street and even had the chance to get on it. It felt incredible for stock internal car.
Going for the bolt-on LT1 record? I have no clue what would be the very best stall speed, but I agree with the guys who say it might not make for a good DD.
Just to confuse the issue further, Lane drove his as a DD.

I picked 3,400 because I dont know if this is a full weight street car, or a daily driver etc
If its a weekend/record car
I suggest going with a 3,600 or a lil more
LS1s as you can see also run high stalls

I was told by Andre over at Edge converters that for a bolt on LT1 you could go as high as a 3600 stall (with their stall) to get the maximum performance. I went with a 3300 because mine is a daily driver and still gets great gains.
Trying to be quick with bolt ons is one thing. Trying to be the quickest, is a whole different game.

If you seriously want the record, you'll have to do a little bit of math in reverse, sort of. Figure out EXACTLY what mph you need to hit to get the record. By knowing the mph you need to hit you can figure out what gear you need and the PERFECT tire size to get you through 1320 feet at around 6600+rpm. You will need a bigger stall than what you have listed.

ok the bolt on record is kind of a ultimate goal... in the far future...
with that being said it is a summer DD on nice days... but i do want a converter that will maximize my performance.. and to the last poster i disagree. i know for a fact 1slowformula is running a 3500 vig and is running 12.0 in a bolt on LT1. you dont need a way high stall rating to do it
