I have a 94 Z28 and the transmission went out AGAIN. Ive been interested in a high stall converter and figured this is as good a time as any to spring for one but I am unsure as to the appropriate stall I should go with. The guy at the shop recommended 2500. What will give me the best performance without being a pain in the *** on my daily driver and without doing harm to my tranny?

 

I think 2800 is very good choice. I have a vigilante stall and i would not buy any other converter. I also had the tranny upgraded a little too.

 

Would 2800 be better performance than 2500 and still be good for a daily driver?

 

I had a 2800 stall and daily drove it with no problem.

 

dont know if it matters but Im running a 2800-3000 stall on my 87 305 and it drives like normal on the street so it cant be any different on your car.

 

Also, if you are that worried about tranny damage as a result of a high stall converter, a tranny cooler and trans temp gauge are a cheap insurance policy. I have had several friends running 2800 stalls in their cars with no drivablity problems whatsover.

 

2800 to 3000 stall is easy to live with, I had one on my 94Z, it was a TCI unit.
Car hooked well and ran great till I broke the tranny again.
I have decided to go TH400 now and be done with it.

 

i have a 2800 with a trans cooler and i love the way it drives. just do some upgrades to make the tranny last
