I should have got a higher stall. It's only 1800, and I'm kicking myself now. I should have went with a 2400-2800, but didn't really know, I studied up on everything else for my build, but that.

It worked out perfect for me, because that's pretty much my sweet spot. My truck grabs 1st until 45, so from a 40 punch is about as good as it gets for now.
