Default What stall speed???

How do know what the correct stall speed for your TC is there some way to tell the right speed or what?

Mods in sig and will be sprayin 150 shot in near future I also have a dyno graph if it helps.

Hmmm are you asking how to tell what the stall of your TC is in your truck now or what stall you should buy?

I'd roll a 3200 if you want to leave the hole really hard. Just want it to be nice go with a 3000. Want it to be dead sexy roll a 3600.

But how did you come up with those speeds what says that those speeds are right for my truck.

Basically i only want to buy one and i want the one i choose to be as near perfect for me and my truck as can be. Meaning i dont want to roast the tires from every stop but the truck does need a kick in the arss from a stop.

My tuner said by looking at the dyno pulls he thinks i would be happy with something like in the 3000-3200 range.

WELL i'm telling those stall speeds based off of the cam/4.8 aspect of the truck. 4.8's normally are low on torque so you kinda want a higher stall to get it up in the meat of the powerband.
If you can post the dyno sheet it will help more.

Having a higher stall will let the motor be in its power(band) zone, at the time that the converter locks up. Based on that cam(duration) you have it should be making good power at 3k. If your making any kinda power you will be roasting the tires from a dig, unless you have slicks, or suspension work, I could do it with my bolt on 4.8

What gears are you running, that will be helpful in making your decision

how fast do you want it? Myself i'd roll a 3600 looking at your graphs.
If you want it at it's best basically.
Fairly good 3200
soso 3000 kinda like i said before.
The 4.8's just don't make enough power and thus needing a higher stall IMO.
