Stall Converter

Hey guys. Im thinking about getting a bigger stall converter soon for my car. I already have a transgo shift and b@m trans cooler that are not installed yet. Which converter is the best for my car with my current mods. Is this a good mod to get? How will it effect daily driving? Thanks for your help.

If you plan on using the car as a daily driver get a stall somewhere between 2600-3000. The car will feel totally different after the new converter. It is the best mod for an auto trans.

The starting point for a good performing comverter to match the ls1s power curve is 3500. Use the stall torque ratio to get the desired slipage for track or daily driving.
