torque converter stall?
I've been looking at new torque converters and shift kits...
My number one question is what stall speed should I be looking to get for the torque converter..I've seen anything from stock speed to 2500 rpm.
And I found one that supports up to 500ft-lbs of torque...which I think would be perfect because I don't ever expect my truck to put out anymore than that\
What do you guys think?

What are you planning to do with the stall?
Unless you are trying to get a better jump off the line, a stall isnt really gonna be very helpfull.
You may notice some improvements in intial takeoff but a sharp decline in higher rpms as these magnums dont rev very high and lose power(torque) before redline.
A stall for your truck in my opinion would be a waste of money.
I wouldnt stall one until I had done a complete top end rebuild with a good manifold,heads, and a nice cam(something in the .570" range)
I had a 2600 stall in my Trans am and it wasnt very noticable at all.
