Default SS stall recommendations?

Looking for a stall for the SS car will prolly stay NA and i still would like it to be street able . I'm open to recommending looking to run in the 11s with this car .

What is your tolerance level for a stalled auto feel? I put a 278mm (11 inch) Circle D in my G8 and didn't like it. Was pretty much like a stock stall to me, but driveability was like stock also. Swapped out to one of their 245mm (9.5 inch) converters, 32-3400 stall, and I love it. Now it feels like a stalled auto and rips pretty good down low and is very fun to drive. But, you can tell it's there. It doesn't feel stock, but I drive it everywhere. A compromise would be one of their 258mm converters, but I'm happy with my 245mm. Put a big trans cooler on it.

I was also happy with the Yank SS3600 I had in my camaro and I've always had good luck with the PTC converters I've had, but I haven't had one of those in an OD transmission.

Many more options out there but those are my experiences.

Run a Circle D 3c aka 3600.
Circle D holds and gives the best 60fts vs ANY 6L80E converters out there. I've tested them all pretty much.
My 3600 stalled 5th gen would cut 1.55 60fts
then ran their 6c 5000 stall and saw 1.40-1.42 60fts and locking them is a plus

Yank 3400-3600 sounds like itd fit the bill
