Default Opinions wanted on stall size

Hey guys. I've been stockpiling some parts for a couple of months. I have a 2001 LS1 with a new Cam Motion 222/226 cam, LS6 heads that I'm shaving .030 and having a valve job done on, a fully built 4L65E waiting to go in, and Cal-speed LT's/ORY. The only two things I need now is a good stall and a tru-cool. I'm going to spray a 125 shot on it once I get everything dialed in as well. What brand/size stall do you guys think would work best for my set-up? I want to DD it and don't want anything too radical. I'm thinking of a nice yank 3400-3500 stall, but I want some opinions. I don't know what it will run, but I think it'll do ok. I know a guy who tunes at a reputable shop in Raleigh, NC with a cam-only LS1 Silverado with a 3600 stall that runs 12.8 on motor and 11.4 @118 on a 125 shot. I'm trying to mirror his set-up with a little less stall but a little more power (which I think the LS6 heads should yield). Thanks guys.

I'd get a Circle D 3C.

Or a ~3600ish converter from PI.

I would go with a circled. Give chris a call and he will recommend what you need.

BlackGMC has a circle D 3c.

And I had a PI 3600 in my daily driver. Had a 228/230 in a 6.0, rcsb.

I would do 3400-3600 from a good reliable company with your setup imo.

Circled, FTI, Yank, Edge, coan, ATI, PI, etc.. There are numerous companies that build well built converters and some cost more than others.

Thanks guys. I'm leaning toward Yank, but who knows? Lol I definitely want a 3400 or so.

I'm running the 278mm 3200 from circle D. My setup could use more converter,but I'm happy with it. My first cam was a 221/226 from cam motion. Best et was 12.94 in a ecsb

I need something stronger than the re-stalled TB converter. Chris told me it was only good to 500hp and I'll be beyond that with the juice. Thanks for the insight though buddy.
