Confused now B&M only and sid 3200rpm is too high
Ok I went to order som parts at a local speed shop and they confused the heck out of me They told me I shouln't buy a high stall like that because I didn't have enough HP They were going to sell me a 2200 to 2400rpm and they don't carry Yank only B&M I've asked questions about stll's before and everyone are saying 3200rpm
I'm thinkin headers high flow cats y pipe exchaust and stall
OR
Hood intake an stall for now and th rest next year with a tune probably this strategy for now...... What do I do?????

I would contact one of the sponsors on here but I can't see the higher stall hurting you especially if you have future mods coming. I would wait on the hood and make the horsepower first but thats just me..

I'd find another/better local shop, or buy online.

step #1... don't ever shop there again because they are clueless...
step #2... call our sponsors on this site because they know what they are talking about and specialise in our cars...

2002 Z28 A4 NBM- Sadly now demodded :(
3400 stall here and while I don't DD it I very well could. AAMOF, I'll be driving the 02 to Cali to my sisters for Christmas (800 mile round trip). At lockup it works just like a normal stall.
The reason I don't DD drive the 02 is 1. I have another car and 2. Stop and go traffic is harder on the engine than racing it is.67 Camaro: K-K + 797-z (look it up), 454/Th400/4.10 12-bolt = 6mpg, PS/PDB/PW tilt, tach, gauges...
2005 Corvette LS2/M6 Magnetic Red Metallic (What else would it be?) w/ Cashmere interior
2002 Z28: NBM/Tan, MTI smooth lid, smooth bellows, !AIR, !cats, 1-3/4" QTP SS LT's, 2-1/2" TD's with X-pipe, MagnaFlows dumped at axle, custom welded SFC's, MidWest Chassis body mount adjustable T/A, 3400 stall, 3.23 gears (was 2.73). Tuned: 343rwhp/357rwt (before TD's). Best: 12.559 @ 108+, 1.73 60' @ 3500' DA w/MT ET Street DR's.

You have to be careful when dealing with certain shops. They will blow smoke up your backside.

OH yeah!
Upon depressing the throttle it goes to ~2500rpm (more if I give it more throttle - I'm talking feather foot here), shifts to 2nd, shifts to 3rd then shifts to OD. At normal part throttle it will shift into lockup (feels like an extra shift) at about 40mph or so. This point is adjustable with programming.
After lockup (say at hiway speeds) it drives like a normal car.
Driving around town though it's normal until I hit it; then it goes up to 3500+ rpm, starts roasting the stock tires and runs like a raped ape!
That puts a smile on this old mans face!
Example: During the local cruise I got into a stoplight joust with a friend. He was curious (he's basically stock) as to why my car surged ahead (we went from ~10 mph to ~35 mph) then started squealing the tires. I told him that was the engine torque catching up through the tranny with the tires.Last edited by 67CamaroRSSS; 12-15-2010 at 07:02 PM.

Find a new shop. You must have looked under "Idiots" in the yellow pages to find those guys as they are totally clueless. Stall that pig. Get a trannie cooler. Reprogram shift points and shift firmness.

X2
I have a low horsepower 2001 Z28, when stock: 298rwhp/290rwtq (@ redline). 3.73 gears
I purchased a Yank 3000 2.0 str (98% efficiency) and now my numbers are: 291rwhp/325rwtq (@ redline). 3.73 gears
The vehicle is way more fun to drive, and is alot quicker off the line. If I had to do it all over again, I would have gone with a 3600 stall.
FIND ANOTHER SHOP!!!!

I've run into this with the old school guys.....they pitch a fit when they hear 3500 rpm stall. I ran a 3500 in mine when it was a bolt on/headers car and I could've easily DD it.

You'll definately enjoy driving it after the stall converter. I also run a 3400 in mine and it just has a couple of bolt ons, namely headers and an off road Y.
I had planned a camshaft upgrade that still hasn't happened, so I did the converter first and it's been that way ever since.
It drives just fine as a near stocker with the converter. Dipped into the 12's on stock rubber with just the above changes. The car was previously stuck at 13.20's with the stock converter. So it's completely changed the attitude of the car, yet still easily driveable, which is actually what the car is for most of the time.
These LS1's, even in stock form, work well with loose converters. These engines are rather small by todays standards (only 346 cubes) with somewhat large 200cc intake runners they are a bit soggy in power down low (below 25-3000 rpm), and don't make peak torque until close to 4,000 rpm. Not what you want a tight converter behind. Simply put, a 3,000+ converter makes it come alive.
