Default Ordering a stall today. Old Men, get in here...

Ok, I've decided to go with the Fuddle High-Performance Truck Converter for my 6.0 swap. I'm running the Comp Cam XR269HR (216-220 .252 .532 114LSA). They can build my TC to stall anywhere up to 5500 RPM. Where do I have them stall it to?

I don't race around town, just looking to get the most out of my setup and still be able to drive like an Old Man.

Thanks,

Will

edit: 99 GMC Z-71 Extended cab 5.3 to 6.0 swap

Im not an old man but Id go with a 2200-2600 stall range for that cam. It would be very drivable and allow for the locking at lower rpms and putting around. Better on mpg also Just make sure you get a good tune for drivability and not just wot

I don't know how the fuddle converters drive but if they're like Yanks', I'd go with 2600-3000.

Ok, so if I go with a 2,800, does that mean to leave the stop sign, I have to rev to 2,800? Sorry for my lack of knowledge here, I've always run sticks.

no if you get a 2800 it will move pretty easily by just touching the gas but under light acceleration it wont want to gain a lot of speed so you will have to give it a little more. i say go with the 2800. it will be fine.
