The Butt Kicker does not state that it needs a higher-stall converter. The Asp-Kicker does, and it's probably because it may need a higher idle RPM due to the rougher idle. With a stock converter, the truck may tend to creep at idle. A looser converter would absorb the creep. From a performance standpoint, a stock converter would work OK with either cam.

Can you explain creep do you mean actually like move forward? I like the specs of these cams has anyone run these

Ok...the converter allows the motor to turn and to keep the vehicle to stay at a standstill at idle when the brakes are applied. The way the fins or vanes are designed within the converter allows how much "play" or absorption of drive that the motor is applying to the tranny to move the vehicle. With the uneven idle of the cam, the truck may surge lightly as it idles...and the looser converter will help out to even that surge, or creep.

IMO, bone stock 4.8's need higher stall converters.

What cam would work the best for my truck? I have a 2000 regular cab and i tow a 20ft boat sometimes and i just want alittle more power. I am going to do a few other things like exhaust and intake and heads so i was just wondering. also whats a good place to get head ive seen some on ebay for like 175 so i would like to know if they are good.

the last sentence in this quote is classic.just had to put that out there.
