i am switching to a TH400 trans in my LT1 396 D1 camaro.....i am stuck on what stall converter to use. I know that FI cars like different stalls that NA cars...just curious what you guys think that run FI and th400 trans...how much stall do you use ???

Neal chance or ATI 9" 'MRT' 4000

 

what is MRT ??

 

This kind of setup places big demands on a cconverter. You need to pick a reputable converter company (Coan, ATI, Chance, etc.) and call them to discuss your combo. Expect to pay at least $1,000 for a converter for this kind of setup. You need a good tranny cooler as well. I like the B&M "Hi-Tek" due to the compact size, flexibility in placement, and cooling capacity.

My "2800" flashes to 5400. Read this:

Figure out what stall you want, then "de-rate" it accordingly.

You need to tell everyone your motor setup too, theres no perfect stall speed for everyone. And if you plan on daily driving it, or is it a track only car, ect...

 

good tranny choice i might add just had mine rebuilt with alllllot of beafed up internals...but you will definatly need to run a tranny cooler other wise its going to cook your transmission...if its a street driver car DO NOT get a tranny cooler that has metal lines that are exposed (if a small rock were to puncture it, its done)

 

Uhhhhh The factory uses metal lines. It's not like they are hanging a foot beneath the car.
