Guys with stalled autos...questions

[Curt D]

So, im thinking of a stall and cam in my C6. I'd like to find somebody with a 2800-3600 stall and go for a ride to I can see if I would even want one. The other option is to keep total driveability and toss a Procharger on it...but it comes with a much bigger price tag Thanks!

Even with a procharger you're gonna want a stall. Where are you located. I started at a 3200 then went to a 3600 now I'm at a 4K and put 10k miles a year on my car non highway. Still tight enough that I can let off the brake at a stoplight and it'll grab enough to roll.

Im not a wrench but want to say 3800 stall, cam, heads and awd is fun

I'm in Lockport. I rode in Bruno's C6 and I'm certain I do not want a 4k. I'm looking for some fun HP on the street with good driveability around town. I would run a stock stall with a blower or something close to it.

3,000 RPM stall is barely noticeable until you stomp on the pedal. I've always had between a 3,000-3,500 stall in my fox bodies. Driveability is fine. You will want a good transcooler though because a stall converter will build some heat.

My suggestion is if you do a blower go with a ZL1 stall like [MENTION=22]syP[/MENTION] did in his SS. If you're doing the mild cam, a 3200 will be great, just need to find someone who has one so you can go for a ride.

Hmm was it really that bad? I'm in Wilmington was gonna say I'd let you take it around the block lol

Just a piece of advice, ask a pro like Hughes or PTC or similar what converter you need. There's a lot of dynamics (your gear ratio, your weight, cam etc. If you don't have a worksheet that goes along with getting the converter you're probably at the wrong place! Lockup vs non lockup also becomes an issue at a certain point. I'd imagine you'll have to make that decision.

EDon't get stupid with the cam so you don't have to get stupid with the converter to make it work. You can use a converter as a bandaid for an over cammed vehicle to an extent, but I wouldn't place it on my list of great ideas quite frankly.
