OK. I've decided to go with 3.73 gears. The motor is completely stock. What RPM stall should I go with?

3500 range

Y2K is that a good stall for a DD?

Yes :yup:

It might be a little squishy if you are completely stock, but if you have headers its great. Your car will be an entirely different beast.

Are you guys sure about that high of a stall? Are you running a different cam? My motor is 100% stock. All I have is a lid and a magnaflow muffler.

A stall or torque convertor lets your tranny "slip" until it reaches the rpm that you want to get a full engagement of your transmission.

3000-3500 rpm is the perfect daily driver/street stall.

id stay around 3000 range works with most cams also puts u in that sweet spot.bigger the stall when u make more power more losses up higher in engine rpm,also less heat trans last a lot longer.
