What Converter should I go with?

[Dasfinc]

REALLY only found 2 for my specific application, both B+M Holeshot's. My motor is coming out in another month for the cam and to be freshened up etc, and figure it may be a good investment since the truck is essentially a Street/Strip truck.

OEM stall is 1700-1800 IIRC

The B+M's are the 50402 and the 50403

the 402 is a 2300 - 2500 stall and about $500, the 403 is 2800 - 3200 stall and about $600

Pro's, Con's of both? (Pro's and Con's primarily of the stall)

Truck torque peaks at 3400RPM at the moment, the new cam may move this a bit further out, but I doubt much, if at all thanks to the blower

IIRC about 1000 rpms below peak torque...so 2400?

The new cam probably will move it out a bit, so 2600?

If that is the case go buy a marauder tc or maybe a P71.

I would not buy a stall until you weigh your truck...then TT the manufactuerer.

"advertised" stall is exactly that, because there is no way to spec actual stall w/o weight/cam/gearing.

Generally a lighter car with steeper gears will need a big stall, and a heavier car with less gear will go the opposite.

Truck weighs 2800lbs 'dry', its probably 3300-3400 with me in it and wet.

3.55 gear is going into the tail, cam is advertised for 2500-5600.

Dont fear the gear, or the converter.

Still not really sure what these converters will affect as far as Day to Day driving and highway driving? Input?

Depends on what you will put up with I daily drove a 4400 stall converter and it was great. Some people cry and whine about a 3000 stall its all in what you can/will put up with.
