Is 2500 enough stall for a TR220 cam?
 

So I've gotta stick with a performabuilt stall to maintain my transmissions extended warranty and plan on running a TR220 or similar cam. I've read that 3k is the best stall speed for these cams but could I get away with a 23-2500? Its the biggest stall thats offered with trans. I've got.

I would think you should be fine, I used to have a similar cam and only had a yankTT2600 stall. It worked just fine for me.

honestly 2500 isn't much of a stall at all, that's like stock. To feel like you have anything, your going to want at least a 9.5" 3000+ converter.

I thought stock was around 1400?

thats small for a 220 cam
At the track on slicks it will hook and bog cause you need more stall to get into the powerband

My stock converter could brake stall higher then that. I've had 6 different converters and I really think 3000+ is needed.

It may never see a track, much less slicks. Its a DD I'm just trying to figure out if there will be any drivability issues with that combo.

its not much but i guess its better than stock.. I have the TB verter and its around 2800 and its decent.

derek i vote you buy matts yank 3k its one hell of a deal

I had the tr220 with the yanktt3000 and it worked good, and I could hardly tell it was a 3k until you went wot.

there have been people run a 220 with the stock stall,but its a dog out the hole
All in what you want from your truck!
Should be fine if its only gonna be a daily driver
There maybe be spots at low rpm where its sluggish from being under the powerband,but soon as its in the powerband it will be fine just gonna take a sec

Well does anyone know of a cam whose powerband would work well with a 2500 stall? I'm not dead set on the 220 and like I said its a dd so I could probably get away with something smaller I just don't want to be disapointed. I guess I might as well bite the bullet and order a 3k yank.

I would but I want to wait til I get a built trans. That way if/when this one takes a shit it wont be taking a nice stall with it.. I want atleast a 3200-3400 circle D when it comes time.


A 216/220 would be better suited for that verter.. Here is a 1 of my speedo vids from about 20mph rolling into it cutout closed.

Id do it from a dig so you could see the full RPM range, But i will just spin.

The stock cam needs a 3000rpm stall, so if you want to run a 2500rpm converter, you need to have a custom ground cam that is smaller than stock specs.

If youre running a 6.0, Id say the 2500 is ok. For a 5.4, Id suggest a little more. 3000+ would be good IMO

LOL I'll call comp tomorrow and see about getting a 150/150 .400/.400. I think I've decided to just go with a Circle D, they seem to be as good and cheaper than yank.

Yea, mine

well if you wanna hold off a lil while i should have my setup done in a few weeks if you don't mind waitin and i have the tb stall its like around 25-2800 im going with the 214/220 i'll be sure n let you know how it does

I'm in no rush, let me know how it works out.

not to thread jack but anyone care to let me know if a 3200 stall would be decent enough for a cammed ls1 in a truck?

Depends on the cam.

224/224 .561 .561 114 lsa

i know everyone says 3600. but im hoping to get by with the 3200
