my thinking is your stall speed is dependant upon your peak tq as well as the shift extensions(where the rpms fall back to after each shift)...ls1's stock make peak tq at 4000 rpms...my 3500 was very good on a stock powerband car...i could footbrake it up to around 2500-2700 rpms & it had shift extensions of like 4100 rpms so even though it was at the bottom of its hp it still could rely on the tq to pull it back through. Also my 3500 was very driveable as is & only wouldve been better with some tuning tweaks. Dont get me wrong I think if your going to keep your car pretty stock like marc has you cant go wrong with a 3000-3200 stall converter but if you plan on a cam swap at any point why go through the trouble of changing it out twice? Fwiw the cam only record holders both have 5000+ stall converters with 4.10 gears if i remember correctly.
