I need a new trans and im going to www.ls1speed.com to buy it and they are installing it. I'm gonna get the stage 2 with vigalente stall, but which rpm would be good for me? i think they are 28-30, 30-32, and 32-3400rpm. Is there anything else i should get done while the trans is there? thanks

 

The stall basically depends on how much street driving you do, and your tolerance for high rpm takeoffs. I would presonally go with 2800-3000, but that's just me. Not sure what you mean by stage 2, but I'd get a shift kit such as B&M or Transgo with your new tranny if that's not what you were talking about.

 

yes, the transmission comes with a shift kit. thank you for your reply, i am still unsure of this hi rpm thing before take off on these stalls, can someone break it down, i am terribly sorry for the ignorance.

 

With your mods, you might want to just get the 2800. That and with your lowering springs you are going to need some sticky tires. Ask me how I know.

 

whats the difference in a 2800 and a 3200? is it a big one? will either help me more at the track, or hurt me street driving. i am pretty much done with my mods so i say, except for hedders in july 2004.

 

I have about a 4000 stall torque convertor in my car and it doesn't have to be revved to take off. In fact, I move while idling in stop-and-go traffic at 1000rpms. Good torque convertors drive much like stock convertors at low throttle.

 

2,800 works well in a basically stock car. Will be quite tolerable for day to day driving, but will definitely launch harder with sticky tires on a good surface. On the street, it will have more tendency to spin when moving from a dead stop.
