I wouldn't exactly say the stall needed to be picked first, but most definitely done first. I think the decision should be a mutual thing though. Pick something out that will work together nicely, then do the stall first.Quote:

I think you can't go wrong in the 2800-3200 range.
After that is pure race, and b4 is just playing with yourself !!!
Its my daily driver and in my town speed limit is 45-55 constant.. I don't tow anything, and if I did I would use the f250..Quote:

The thing is although the speed limit is 45-55, we have about 50 redlights and stop signs here, so I don't want to put too much pressure on the trans. I've been searching around and around for a 6.0.. Can't afford it right now, and would rather start learning a bit by putting stuff on the 5.3..
I'm getting $425 whenever I'm finished helping my friend do his engine swap.. I've really been considering headers, but I still want a stall.. Like I stated before, I've got 155k miles on the truck, would a converter wreck my transmission or would I be safe? I'm looking into the 3-3200 stall..
Converter or gears will give you the best ass dyno results. A nice quality unit won't hurt your trans. Or you know, you could spray it.
