zmanabba Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I have a b&m 2000 stall in mine that I like a lot. I have heard that their quality has gone down in past years but mine has been great for me. If you post your cam specs there will probably be a lot of people that could give a more accurate choice. Some peoples mild cam can be pro-street for another lol. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 57 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I think if I were you, I would call a couple of manufacturers with your specs and see what they say. Mine is 8 inch and around 5200. I don't think you would like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Auto Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 For your build, a generic 2000-2200 would def not hurt your feelings. Do you ever have issues with the car stalling in gear at lets say, a 750 rpm idle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyDavey Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 the factory converters will usually stall around 15-1700 so yeah you would need to go up to at least a 22-2400 to really get any worth while difference. As Bruce said the B&M series is a very good off the shelf converter that will flash a little but drive pretty normal.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snomobeelr Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 I never had a problem with the car stalling. Always moved pretty well. Just seemed to Tack up slowly and would tach out at 5800 to 6000 and I just want more. I was thinking since I have the motor out now and still debating on cleaning up motor and new cam a rolller. I spoke to Steve at Lunati who sugjested a Custom Grind which sounded good said it would tach up to 6400. Then I was talking with My friend who thinks I should get the top end kit with heads and cam and everything. He wants me to do the Edlbrock top end combo that is 2500.00. The Lunati Cam, Better Lunati Roller lifters and valve springs for my heads came to 1100.00 so I am stilll debating wich to do.. Will still need a converter. More decisions now. What you guys think..

dbreese Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Once you get the cam specs it will help the converter people narrow down what size and stall will work with your combo. Also the converter people will take into consideration vehicle weight, gearing, transmisson, and the use primary use of the vehicle, street, street/strip, strip only. Just some food for thought. Take care, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
