How much would a 2200-2400 really help? And how bad will it affect my gas mileage?
Why do you put "Performance" and "Gas Mileage" in the same sentence????? :duh:
In town you will loose some mileage since you will want to romp on it more.....
Performance wise you will get to your power band faster and for me yes it was worth it :jump: :burnout:
ive heard from many people that unless u go higher than that its not worth it. 3000 is where a lot of people start. :thumb:
As with any performance part, where are you going and when will you be there. If you never get a cam that starts making power at 4000 RPM don't get a stall that starts at 4000 RPM...... What parts are next and what are your priorities :help:
Next time you are in Austin give me a shout and Ill take you for a ride in a 3400 stalled truck.
I can show you what a 3000 is like... :burnout:
I could put my old converter back in and show him what a 4400 stall converter is like. :nutz: :point:
I got a 2800 and its not enough for my cam. If you have a big cam i would get a 3000 or 3200 stall. If you have a lock up stall it wont really matter what stall you have on the highway. the one i got didnt change my mileage at all. But being that your afraid to hurt you mileage i would get anywhere from a 2800-3200 stall. Just my two pennies

what is a lock up stall?
Thanks guys. I just came across i really good deal on one, but i guess Ill pass on it. Sounds like I need a bigger one.
Lock up.... :duh: That would be the point where your stall quits sliding and goes 1:1. In the current 4L6xE and 4L8xE you can program where it locks up......
All electronic convertors with a lockup are controlled by the PCM. The PCM can be programmed to lock the convertor at different vehicle speeds. The stall speed is the engine RPM when 100% of torque is applied to the transmission. Up to the stall speed, the torque convertor applies a proportionally increasing amount of torque as engine RPM increases.
