Default How high of a stall

I just want your 2 cents about a stall. I am getting a fuddle TC thanks to 1slowz71, and I was going to stall it at 3500. My mods are below. I launch in 4 hi tracion is not a problem. This is my DD so got to keep it drivable. Is 3500 good? higher or lower?

well with the 3500 stall converter your not going to start moving untill 2500rpms, so your intown gas milage is going to sux. for a DD I wouldn't go more than 2500-2800 good luck.

Ummm, 3500 would be for a strip only truck IMO. You need to look for something in the 2600-3000 range. Remember this is the flash rate. If you are at a stop and floor it, the converter is going to let the engine free spin until 3500rpm before you start moving. And with a 3500, you will get traction issues. I have a 5600lb Tahoe, a 2600 Fuddle stall. If I nail it from a stop, all I get is tire spin. I have 24" rims which = HEAVY, they just spin and spin until I let out. I also have a Radix but, I still think 2600 would be good for you. 3000 is the biggest I would go for a DD.
