Default new stall speed... how high should I go this time???

I have a 9.5" PI 3200 I'm getting rebuilt/restalled again by PI... I have done a cam since then and a few other things. I have to get the converter rebuilt anyway so I figured I'd just go with a different stall while I was in there. I am thinking either 3600 or 3800... its a lockup converter so hwy driving will be fine. But I can tell so far that the 224/227 cam I have likes it above ~32-3400 RPM.

lemme know which way you'd go with.

BTW, its an ext cab 2wd with 4.10's

the only reason I keep thinking higher stall numbers is because this thing has been pretty tight in the past.... but if it would actually go to 34-3500 I guess it would work fine... I was just taking into account how this particular converter acts.

I said 3600 because you went from 3200 to 3600 on your poll. IMO a 3400 would be perfect for you. BTW, call me back fokker

I never could get this 3200 to 3000.... like I said, its pretty tight. the only reason I got it to flash that high was because I was on some decent tires and on the bottle out of the hole. but that was on the stock cam. with this new one, it pulls like stock really until you come up past about 3200 RPM. I guess a 35-3600 will work pretty good....

anyone else have any input??

I voted 3800 because they are underrated and the diff between a 3600 and 3800 isnt even going to be noticeable at that level. PIs are tighter and my Fuddle 3900 was fine driving around but I like bigger stalls too. Your 60fts will be awesome with a 3800, cam and a 150 shot on some tire I would venture to bet most that ahve voted havent even driven a truck with a converter that would flash that high Its not that bad at all

yeah, I agree, since it is so tight to begin with, a 3800 will probably be the best performer out of the two... not much difference. I just hope everything behind the motor/converter decides to stay together this time.... (crossing fingers)
