I have a Yank with a 2800 Stall, I Love it no issuses. Also Circle D makes a Great Converter from what I hear too. I have a couple of Buddies that have them and are very Happy. Glen at Cirlce D Built My Tranny and is about to Build My New 4L80!!!

I think circle-d still does a deal for members over at pt.net, I'd get a 3000 stall at least and don't forget a bigger trans cooler

Yank makes a nice converter too

I was thinking of the tr224 cam. With a converter,cam, headers and tune what kinda mpg loss should I expect?

 

[Max]

You'll probably net a bit of mileage overall, converters generally lose 1mpg for a 2600-2800 stall but the longtubes + tune will give you about 2mpg.

i would go with a Stall speeds 2600 to 3200 RPM.

the 278mm from Circle D

Had a 3k Stall from circle D. Loved it, and FOR SURE do the trans cooler.
I lost about 2 or so MPG in the city with the converter and I already had the longtubes and tune and all that good stuff. Highway MPG for me was 20-21

 

[blueflamed03]

yup, I think Circle D has that big 40K tranny coller, might as well do a 'one stop shop'.

im running the yank tt3000 and i like it..big enough to notice it, yet you can still drive pretty normal with it..no comment on mpg, i have a heavy right foot...i like hearing the 6.oh with longtubes and no cats lol
