Just remember the higher the stall the harder on transmission parts, U Joints, and Differential parts. Yes that cam may be made for a 3200 - 3600 stall converter but that is to optimize the performance you are talking you want a street car.
I wasn't aware that a higher stall converter was harder on your transmission. Is that from launching at a higher rpm range when at the track? As far as the type of the stall I was thinking the same thing. Lethal Racing said they install 3200, but I have read where others say don't do anything less than 3600. I am leaning more towards the 3200 but need to do some more reading and questioning. Any suggestions between brand such as Yank or Circle D?

Time to order Valley Cover and LS3 Front Timing Cover.
