stall converter

I am looking into putting a stall converter into my 87 iroc. What stall would you recomend for a aggressive street machine, that sees the strip 4 times a year. The trany is a 700r4 with a B&m Shift kit. I was thinking about 1800 or soo.

Re: stall converter

1600 is about stock so a 1800 would not be a improvement. I am using a 2400 stall with my 350 and it works out ok for a daily driver.

Re: stall converter

How long did it take you to install it? By ok do you wish you went more aggressive?

Re: stall converter

No estimate of time, work was done during a engine swap. By Ok, a larger stall for me would have made the car unuseable as a daily driver. But you can decide for yourself. (1800 stall means you have no experience on this subject).

Re: stall converter

2400 should be good for your motor. Also get a shift kit and tranny cooler.

Re: stall converter

A 3600 stall with a 2.5 STR, coupled to a race grade SF29 flexplate. You will go from "Farfeknugen to ***enmoven" in no time flat
Don't forget a Transgo shift kit 3 washer, and a 24k trans cooler.
