what stall converter would be required or would work.?

Question

i have a chevy 383 stroker and the cam lift is 572

with 2.02 valves and roller rocker arms with port and polish heads inside and out including the exhaust ports.

and i have a 400turbo hydra tci transmission what stall converter would be required with this.

i was thinking a 3000-34000 stall or is it too high.

plus i have 3:90s rear gears.

Answer 1

I would look to be in the 3500 Rpm range. With a cam that big your power band is going to be it the high Rpm's. Sounds like you have a good combo going though. I personally don't like that much lift because it increases valve slap at high Rpm's. I have found that increasing the duration of the lift instead of the amount of lift makes better power for a street driven car. Hope I have been helpful.

Answer 2

Contact the company that manufactured your cam and tell them your set up as well as vehicle weight and what the car will be used for street or strictly race they will be able to recommend the best set up and its usually free service .
