recommend a converter
 

I'm putting a stock 94 vette motor in my 95 and will be using a fresh built 4l60e with corvette servo and transgo shift kit. The only mods that will be done are pacesetter lt's and y pipe, magnaflow, k@n cai, egr and a.i.r. removal, and probably a custom tune. Question is what torque converter should I go with? Stock or maybe 2400-2800 stall? Also what brand? I've read all of the stickys but still don't have a clue. I figure the motor will put out around 325-335hp. I also have a stock converter out of the vette I got the motor from although it's been out of the car for a while- if this will be sufficient, great, if not what am I looking at spending for good performance.

thanks

I would suggest around a 3000 as long as its a quality converter thats not to loose

Yank... I went with a 2800 when the car was basically stock and wished I had gone for something more like a 3200.

There are several good brands too choose from... Yank, Vigilante, Fuddle, and Edge. Anywhere from a 3000-3200 stall ratio should work well for you. I would also factor in a tranny cooler as well.

Awesome, thanks guys those are the answers I was looing for- and I figured on running a B&M trans cooler.

What rear gear do you have? The more gear you have (3.23 to 3.73) will make the stall rating feel more tame. I have a Vig. 2800 and started out with the factory 3.23s. Went with the 3.73s with the H/C swap. Now with the 3.73s it feels almost stock again. If you really want to wake your car up, go with the 3.73s and use a quality 3200 converter. Just my 2 cents. ;)

I've got 3:23's and will problaly go with 3000 converter- sounds like this will do for now, until I decide to go a little more radical on the motor. Thanks for the input.

I run 3.42s and am going to 3.73s very shorty (Needs new gears). I just put in a 3000 Fuddle and it is amazing. So smooth on the street, and is dead on 3K when flashing.

John Cameron is awesome to work with and REALLY stands behind his product. I see why now. I highly recommed a 3000 Fuddle for you.

I recomend the Fuddle as well! Great on the street and hwy and also dead on the flash! Get a cooler! I need one!

I think I am going to get a fuddle for now and a little down the road when I can afford it I'll get a yank.

you'll think differently after driving with a fuddle! They are just as good if not better than the yank! And I am not bashing the yanks but they Fuddle converters are stout!

My car is sprayed though and I do not know how fuddles do with spray. I am not going to spray it until I get my yank, maybe unless someone can tell me differently.

Fuddles have anti Balloning plates and work perfectly with nirous. I recommend the HP series from Fuddle if your gonna spray. I noticed most everyone using a Yank has a very high stall 4K+ RPM. John Camron at Fuddle will not steer you wrong, and will hook you up with a stall equally as good as a Yank stall at a fraction of the cost.

Great input, thanks again.

No problem. BTW I ran several 1.7s this Friday back to back. My Fuddle converter is wonderful!!
