3000 minimum!!! your mother could drive it and probably wouldn't notice it was in there(till she floored it!!)

So how much do these babies run? what will it do for my zero to sixty times? Will it lead to any drive train problems?

I've got a 3000 stall in mine, and it's awesome, and you don't lose any everyday drivability

I have a Vig 3200 in my truck and it is not bad at all. I would imagine it is a lot looser than the Yanks, since the vig's are really made for the F-body's, and most people don't even know I have anything done...until I floor it that is.

So whay were saying here is the factory stall is set so low, so that wimps and old ladies won't be scared of them?
A little too much neck snapping acceleration when you stomp it to the floor? will it seem touchier when you go to a 3000 stall? this may sound like a very worth while mod. How much is the stall and what is all involved in the swap?
I have done auto trans converter replcement in older chevys but not a new truck. Tell me more!!!

One last thing, I will be getting a boat in the not too far off future. How will this affect towing?

yank 3000 has full towing and will give you around .5 1/4 mile and 0-60 improvement. .5 is ALOT!! and you will feel it.

why doesn't the factory do it... well they do put higher stalls in performance aplications, these are trucks, not performance vehicles. a stall will get a little worse intown MPG, will make a loud truck seem louder. most of all a higher stall feels "loose", you will see what we are talking about and it isn't exactly a good feeling but like alot of things there are trade off's, the looseness of a 3000stall is very mild and the ET improvement is huge, after a day or so of driving it you wont even remember it is in there.

How about Yank 3000 vs Yank 3200? I never tow anything but won't the 3200 cause more drivetrain loss or will it definitly be faster than a 3000?

if you can hook the 3200 will be faster, if you dont tow anything i think you can look at any fbody converter so your not limited to the 3200

I drove one of the mods on this boards car(Devilbird) with a Yank ST3500 in his Formula and it wasn't anything strange at all. It's real loose because he has 2.73 gears, but say 3.23s or 3.73s with a 3000+ stall would be real tight. Converters are fun
