I'm depating on 3.73's or 4.11's I know I wouls have to get a stall for both but which one would be better note the car is a dd?

What's a great stall for the 3.73

if you ever plan on getting a cam, a stall thats about 3500rpm is perfect.
even if you dont get a stall, 3500 is good.

Get a stall at least 3200. And nhraformula is correct, get a stall first.

In my opinion....that cam isn't a daily driver cam.
Makes great power, great track times.

But it is horrible on mileage. Not best for a daily driver with an auto.

Something like a 228/228 would be better. 3800 stall.

horrible on mileage? so how long would that thing last in the car?

**Mr. Luos** · 11-21-2006, 06:07 AM

What do you mean by last?? It would run fine.

**kams95ss** · 11-21-2006, 06:10 AM

oh sorry I thought you meant bad mileage meaning that it would'nt hold up for say no more that 5000 miles

**Mr. Luos** · 11-21-2006, 06:14 AM

Gas mileage.

Motor would be fine, but you would need a good stout valvespring and hardened pushrods for any cam. Bigger the cam, the better the valvespring has to be.
I would recommend Manley dual springs for that cam.
