Default performance with a 3600 stall

I bought a vig3600 stall and am ready to put it in. It is going in basically a stock truck with a 3.73 gear. Should I be looking for a big improvement right now? I know it is smaller in diameter and should help with reving, but where else should i see improvement?

Thanks,
Ryan

you'd definitly find performance in your low end and stuff. with my cam it doesnt perform well in the low end so i was told with a 3000 stall i would take of 4 tenths in the quarter. thats performance enough for me. what year is your truck though and what tranny do you have, im looking for a stall for my 4l60 right now and all my options are pretty pricy

you'll have plenty of stall for it. i have a 3200 stall and just had a 224/224 5?? lift on a 112 lsa. how heavy is that truck? either way if you get it to hook it should move on out pretty good.

with a stall that high you might want to look at a big tranny cooler. Heat will kill a 60E in a hurry.

Hey, ********......you think that 3800 is going to be too much for my TR224? Just go ahead and say yes, because I need the motivation to step up a notch on the cam. I don't want the same cam that your beater truck has in it.
