"I have an 1500 HD and want to put it in the 9's. Can someone tell me how?"). Maybe he didn't know where to start. I know it may sound like I'm taking up for him but I was once in his shoes. I've asked some pretty stupid questions on here before!! Man, lighten up.....it's only two or three little question.James

Like about the stall and why he should go with the smaller duration cam for tq. It sounds like he isn't wanting to mod the hell out of it. For an instance "I have an 1500 HD and want to put it in the 9's. Can someone tell me how?"). Maybe he didn't know where to start.

Hence what I am doing here. I dont want to put a converter in that why Im asking about the biggest cam you can put in with out it.
He mentioned about the TC Flashing. I didnt ask what converter I should get, but if that information is pertinent to his answer I need to know what he is talking about to give him the information.
Thanks for the smart *** comment though It was very helpful
Im not new to modding cars but I have been out of it for about 15 years and Im not familer with alot of the new things. Like you used to buy a cam differently than you do now.
I had a 292/610 in a 440.
But what it goes by today that is an insane cam hell maybe not even possible. so yes I am learning alot of new things.
Again thanks for your help

I was asking what he meant by the TC flashing
I have heard the term before but never asked what it meant.
No I dont want to Mod the hell out of it. This is my daily driver and I just wanna give it a little umph.

Brake Stall: The rpm the engine cannot exceed with the brakes locked and the driveshaft not spinning. Brake stall isn’t usually an accurate measuring tool since the engine often overpowers the wheels before the true stall speed is reached.
