Wouldn't hurt - what cam (specs?) are you running?

Your stall should be set around 300-400 rpm below your peak torque.

How do you have 400+ at the wheels? My guess is a decent sized cam if you're running N/A, so without even knowing the specs, I'd say at least a 3200.

What's the specs of the cam dur @ .050, lift, LSA, etc?

Get yourself a good 9.5" TC 2800+ stall and you will fall in love with the car all over again it will make an incredible difference.

A stall would be a good thing. You will lose gas mileage in town but if you are only going to be driving it on weekends then I would say go for a 3200. That is what mine is. A lot of guys get the stalls in the 2000-2800 range and wish they would have gone bigger. I went in the biddle with a 3200. I like. Car runs great!
