Default best bang for the buck stall converters

looking for something to stall no lower than 2800 no higher than say 3k.i m wanting best bang for the buck, but am not wanting to do a tb stall. i am open to used equip but that will be later on. i am checking into the 219/228 gmpp hotcam. i am on a budget and nothing is certain as of yet.

i have an 03 rcsb 4.8 blackbear tuned, K&N, no cats, cutouts, magnaflow. nothing major.


if/when stall goes in i will probably do a few other things such as a transgo hd2 shift kit. just looking to try to piece some stuff together right now.

There are alot better cams than the hotcam and you'll need a bigger stall than a 3k for it anyways.

look at a 212/218 or something if you're wanting to stay tame.

Best bang for the buck with converters is the Yank TT series....

I'd say that the Yank TT3000 is probably the best bang for the buck...$575

I agree with 00ChevyScott, there are alot of better choices out there than the hotcam, even though the price of the hot cam package is very enticing. It's pretty old technology though, it was actually an LT1 grind originally.

i know, i have read. i was just going to check with a friends dad at the dealership to see what i could get one for. if i can get it fairly cheap then im going to get it. if not then i will look on to a tr220 or something.


and thanks for the info on the yank!

IMO I would go with a 220/220 XE or XER lobes and have it ground on a 110+4 to increase your TQ(which the 4.8 lacks) and to bring the power in sooner to compensate for the lower stall rpm. Just my .02

I will be installing a edge 3000 tommorrow i will let you know how that goes. the price is the same as a yank. I heard that the edge was tighter than the yank so you might like that better.....
