Default recommended stall size for a.....

Ext cab LQ4 6.0 Full bolton, 3.73, and is planning on getting a 233/239...598/602...112 and it really depend if he gets it today cause hes not looking for such a loose converter. He really doesnt want bigger than a 3600 and if he needs bigger than that he will pass on the deal.

So what size would be recommended for that cam

I have a 3700 rpm stall and have 4.56 gears and a 227/235 .612/.624 113LSA and could really go bigger. That cam would need about a 3800+ IMO.

as long its a larger diameter converter, it will dd just fine. i had a 3800 yank that only took about 2400 rpm to get it moving with traffic from red light to red light

We recommend a 3500+ converter for that camshaft in a car. I would say in that application 3800-4000 would be right on par.

Check out my vid in the multimedia. Driving around with a circle d 4c. It's the smaller 245 mm so the larger on won't be as bad.

I'd personally get a 3800 rpm 9.5" at least in that setup if it were mine.


Probably getting a 9.5" 3600rpm in mine soon as I can, and its got a smaller cam, 5.3L, and weighs less if that tells you anything.

Yeah skeet that was his main concern. A friend of mine has a 4000 stall in his ext cab and his going to ride in it to make sure. He just wants to get the best out of this cam
