How high does your converter flash?

your tire height, your cam, your gears and where your power comes in and peaks at, all has to do with what stall you need
the stall determines on how fast you get to your poweband and if youre over stalled youre loosing momentum on the top end, basically your stock cam is running out of gas!!!

Putting the stock verter back in cause im a sissy and i like my gas mileage.

i had edge costom build me a stall for my setup, i told him i wanted a 3600 and it flashs to about 3500 when i get on it, alot of this has to do with were your str is set at, mines set at 2.45 witch is about as far as you want to go without loseing top end, if you have a 2.60 it will be alot looser, a hi str will net good 60 foots, a lower one will make for a better trap speed.

Guess that would work too, iv just never seen much gain when locking them unless your running a power adder, just seems like it bearly makes up for the drop in rpm. every setup is different but on mine it didnt help. most likely cause of the lower str.
