Sound like the lock-up Solenoid is not getting the signal to Lock up, or it's messed up.

Yeah I feel you there man! It's expensive and it's best to do it right the first time rather than mess something up and have to redo it again.

BTW, My car is an auto w/ stock converter, and I have 3.42's installed and at 81 mph on the interstate my rpm's are at 2600 rpm. I don't have any problem with that, but I'm kinda anxious as to how much rpm's I'm gonna gain when I go with 3.73's in my Strange Rearend! 2800 rpm is about what I'd think, but 3000 is the most I'd want at 80 mph.

Thanks for the reply man, Thats good to know! I don't know anything about stalls at all and thats the reason I have not put 1 in it yet! And just to think; I have had my transmission out about 6 times so far and I could've put 1 in already- had I known that this was not going to affect my car as much as I thought. I'm definentely going to get 1 asap though.

However, does anyone think that a Yank ss3600 stall is too much for a stock LT1 with bolt-ons? Any help appreciated.
And I don't want to hijack your thread so Just LMK if you feel I am. I can start my own if you get offended. And thanks for starting the thread it helped me and alot of others by the looks of it.

I agree with Merv. You are most likely having some kind of issue with the lock up. It could be in the tune, trans, or converter. If you're lucky, it will be in the tune. You can use a data log to see if lock up is being commanded. If it were me, I would get on the horn asap with the trans builder and follow his suggestions.

All I got is a few bolt ons. I wouldn't see an issue. It only takes me about 1500 to get it moving good. Which isn't bad at all. If I don't want to tick off the people behind me you'll need to go 2k rpms or a bit higher. Which is normal for my 6 banger grand am anyways, but usually I could care less about the people behind me. Most people need to slow down anyways haha

Cool man, I'm just wondering about this b/c I'm thinking of making this my next mod for the car... Besides the 3 way adj. shocks.

Can't wait. I wanna see how fast it goes with bolt-on's, before I put in the stroker at the end of this summer. Plan on putting the stroker in the car around September or sometime close to there.

CamaroRacing12, or others will a stall this high, I have 2 questions....

What is your peak tq at? I ask because I hear that you want to have a stall as close as possible to your peak tq. Mine's at about 3900 - 4200 rpms, but I wouldn't want to go higher than 3600 stall.

Does your confidence in daily streetability include driving in the rain?

If I remember correctly you want the stall to be somewhere between 500-900 rpm below your torque peak.

I drive in the rain, its no worse with the 3600 stall than with the stock stall at all. The car is extremely controllable unless you dont want it to be. If you put it to the floor doing 20mph in the rain then you will run into something but if you drive normal it will act exactly the same.

I ran my '96 Z28 convertible 3.23 gears @ ATCO N.J. on april 14th. after putting in a Yank SS3600.

My best ET before the SS3600 in May of 2007 @ ATCO was a 13.9 @99 w/2.0 60ft.
91,000 mile w/ fresh plugs and wires, ONLY mod being a K&N CAI.
I weighed it on ATCO's scale that day 3610 Lbs.( me 190)

Went back on April 14th, removed the floor mats, spare, and jack.
Put 26x10.5-16 ET streets (not the radials) with 225/55-16 nexens on the front. It weighed 3480 that day. ( first time ran it on 17x9 bullit replicas with 275/40-17 BFG G-force all around). Still stock except the converter and CAI.

Car went a string of 13.3's with a best 13.32@100.4 w/1.82 60ft.
I'm doing 4.10's, 160 stat., and a tune and going back in a few weeks.
Hoping for 12's......... The SS3600 works GREAT for me in my stock LT-1. I would not get anything less.
Buy this converter, you won't regret it. Hope this helps.

Thought I'd share some more driveability of this converter. I don't know how my stats compare with others or if they are normal. Today, idling, i sit at 500rpms. 60mph cruising i'm at 1500 rpms. This is with 2.73s. Don't know what else I can say about the converter. Haven't tried launches yet or anything, but it sure does flash nice I can see. When I get this dipstick tube leak fixed I'll go ***** out and i'll make some videos if anyone would love to see that. I remember before I got mine, I couldn't find a damn thing for video footage of how this thing would behave.

Got to remember too, that the stock tach reads a little high. Mines off at least a 100 to 150 rpm at highway speeds. I want to say I'm turning 2200 at 67mph. This is with 3.73s.
