Default 3200 stall too big for stock cam?

i know its possible to over cam, what about overstalling? i know the power starts well before 3200 on the stock cam so could i be doing more harm than good by going 3200?

I've never heard of such thing as over stalling?? maybe it'll be too much for your 26" e/t's... Im starting to believe that when people start dipping into the 12's, the 26's just aint going to be enough.... I learned that and I believe a few other people from here has learned that as well...

I doubt a 3200 will be too much for a stock cam. The F-Bomb guys run 3600+ stall converters with stock cams all the time.

James "the closet redneck" has a 3400 stall on his single cab. He told me he either had a 3600 or a 3800 and that was just too much. He is running a stock cam with full bolt ons on that 3400 and from what I here it's pretty damn quick.

I had a 3800 @ one time. It was too loose!!! I now have a tight 3000-3200. I'm installing a looser 3200-3400 this weekend.

James

Thanks for the compliments Random!!!

pretty consistent 1.88-9's when it hooked. but hooking it is always the problem. it either hops its *** off or spins... or a combo of the two
