depending on what cam you have that is almost identical to what my old 355 was. I ran a 3200 stall and it worked great!!! I would run a 2800-3400 stall for your application. If you want a can get you a converter at a great deal.

Drew seems to have been around 1 or 2 thirdgens before so I value his opinion on this one. :jest:
On a mild build like this it's definately worthwhile to do something in the 3000rpm area. I'm guessing the cam will compliment the SuperRam in the 2000-6000rpm range and if that's the case, Set aside some money for very good(sticky) tires. :drive:
I'd definately look into a Precision Industries Vigilante 9.5" converter. If that's not your style, YANK or NEAL can set ya up.
I have a Lock-up 4200 P.I. Vigilante and it drives nice so you have nothing to worry about.

The converter will run you 535.00 shipped to the door. let me know if I can help you..... That is for a 3000 stall antiballon plates, lockup clutch, 2 year warranty, and a 2 year free stall upgrade.
