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 **** 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.
