I didn't have any one reason why I chose that stall speed, it was just a decision based on my own research, talking to people with them, talking to circle d, etc. I wanted something a little bit higher than stock, but didn't wanna go to high because this is my dd and I occasionally tow a wakeboard boat. So this just seemed to be the best choice based on all that.

I absolutely love the ls9 cam. I dont realy have a before and after comparison though cuz i added the cam, udp, and tune all at the same time. It really kicks in above 3000 and pulls like crazy above 4500. On cold starts you can hear a TINY bit of lope, but after it warms up it sounds like stock, especially with the cutout closed. I will get some vids from outside and inside the truck and post them up. Just been busy with work lately. Overall im very happy with it and it feels great for a 4 door truck. It surprised the hell out of me and and I'm sure will surprise a few cars on the street. (just for a point a reference, I used to have a Ws6 that ran 12.4 with just boltons, so I know what it feels like to drive a semi quick car. I'm not saying my truck is anywhere as fast as my ws6 was, but it definitely feels fast for a truck)

That's awsome man, can't wait to hear the news for when you install the Circle D TC!! Should be ordering mine here pretty soon too, and I'm most likely going with a low stall like yours as well but only a single disk because I also daily drive mine. I was just curious because I see a lot of people get higher stalls like 3500+. Do you plan on spraying?? Lol.

I got the multidisk cuz it is recommended if you ever plan on towing, or adding big power like spray or a blower. I don't have any immediate plans for spray or a blower, but I can't say that I won't ever do one of those either. It was only a few hundred bucks more so I decided to just get the multidisk and never have to worry about it later.

Guess i'll be running a multi disk too since I plan on spraying.

If you have a temp gauge, watch the trans temp. I've been through it....

Every bit helps! I have an external cooler and a hand welded all aluminum radiator. The only prob I had was watching the Trans temp gauge hit 219. Skeerd the crap out of me.
