I feel like a crazy stall would bug me after a while but I dont know... I just want whatever will decrease mpg the least but still allow me to gain power. I know thoughs two things dont mix well but would like to keep it as gas friendly as possible while increasing power.

Call me an idiot, but I drove my new cam with the stock converter for a few months first. It was a dog down low and didn't really start making torque until 3000 rpm, so I got a 3600 stall. Made the choice easy. Lol.

I ran the TT3000 and it wasnt all that bad, did a bunch of driving in town i would drop it into 3rd and let the converter lock. helped out about 2mpg.
Id say a 2600-2800 you would be happy, the stock 60E converter is tight!

I ran the Yank TT2600, then moved up to a 3500 stall, it was WAY too lose for DD and pissed the wife off. Went back to the TT2600. Just wish I would've put a 212/218 in it instead of the TR224-114, LQ9 or not, it's too much cam for 3.73's without a lot of converter in it.

Not trying to threadjack Colyn, but I'm in the same boat.
Truck specs are in my sig & after I get my drop on my extra $$ will be going to the cam/stall. It is my DD but I work at home... so any DD is to the store, buddy's houses, cruising... and it is hilly around here.
Subscribed for more ideas!
