i am looking at getting a stall for my truck. im not quite sure which one to get. i have a 4.8 with long tubes and ORY pipe, intake, and soon to be efi live tune. looking at a set of fairbanks servos. what stall would be recomended? my future plans may be a mp112 or tvs charger with custom grind cam. there is a local guy that has a midwest racing model#b85-5x 2200, 2800, or 3200 for $350. never heard of midwest so im unsure if it is a good buy.

 

I would suggest going with a Yank, PI, circle D.. But you will pay for them, but they are the best... When it comes to hp stuff you get what you pay for... With a tvs or 112 you won't need alot of stall, but i would go with a 3200 for the fun factor.. i have a 3200 and wish I would have went bigger, this i my DD..

 

yeah i would do at least a 3000 stall and i would use a circle d heard good things about them not sayin yank or pi arent good plus circle d dares you to break one

 

Circle-D has a base model stall that isd 2800-3200 for like $425. It will be great until you decide to go with a supercharger. I have one and LOVE the driveability of it. One thing you have to consider is that each manufacturer will build the converter different. Circle D builds them tighter and that allows you to drive it around town like a lower stall but still stalling where you want when you need.
I had a loose on and switched to Circle D and I don't plan on using any other company because I like this one so much better.

 

so what stall would i need for the supercharger?

 

The one I believe Chris from Circle D recommends for the higher HP, forced induction is a 258 mm (10.125") converter. I think he PM'd me it can stall up to 3500 if one so chooses that stall speed. I think he recommended me that 258mm wit ha 32-3400 speed for great street mannors, good performancer, and the ability to still tow.

 

depends on what you want to run for a blower if its a maggie then look into a 2600 to a 3000 and it would be peace of mind if it were a triple disk just cause your runnin a blower if it were na id say just run a single disk

 

im fixing to start on some performance stuff with it when i get it out of the body shop. i have a month or so before i have the truck back so im gonna start saving and buying. where should i start on getting it ready for the maggie. looking for a little pep to start off with just dont wanna buy stuff i have to replace later.

 

if it were me start with the tranny cause if you dont the maggie will put that 4l60 in the junk pile

 

are the fairbanks servos any good?
