Stall 4L60E LS1

[99ls1]

Lookn for a 3200-4000 stall speed converter for my 99 ls1 with 4L60E

[formula57]

whats the cams rpm range and what rear gear are you gonna run?

[99ls1]

1900-6500 rpm and for now im gona be running stock gears

[formula57]

you might want to shoot more towards 3000 to 3500. just because it says its a 3500 stall doesnt mean its gonna lock up at 3500. most likely it wont lock till atleast 4000 to 4200. exspecially with a stock gear and stock weight. itll take more to move the car which will result in your higher lock up. i put a 4000 stall from precision industries in a ls1 with a ms4 cam. on the dyno the car didnt fully lock up till almost 5200 rpm which is way to high. just a suggestion but ill keep an eye out for you if i come across one.

Ok thanks, been reading alot on them and been reading for my setup 3600-3800 would be about stock

Lock up is computer controlled and mainly based on MPH. You could get a 4400 converter to lock at 35mph if you wanted to.

Now stall speed/tightness is a different story. Stall speed is bassed off of power. A higher power car is going to stall the converter higher. Loose/tightness has as much to do with weight and gear as it does converter size.

If you don't plan on using a power adder on the car I would use at the very least a 3600 if not a 4000 converter.

Well I'll appoligize for using the wrong terms. I'm sure you unstood what I ment I just had it worded wrong. Still a 4000 stall on a bone stock ls1 is still pretty high. If the car is used more for a daily driver or just crusin around it just isn't gonna be practical for his application.

I daily drive my car with a 4K stall no problem at all and have been for a few years now, LS cars love high stall converters I wouldn't even waste my time with anything smaller than 3600

What he said ^

[1BADAIR]

yep, anything above 40 or so and the TCC will lock and drive like stock
i would get a 3000-3200 for a stock car

[99ls1]

Its not a stock car, SLP lid, headers, true duals with magnaflows,waiting to go in is a texas speed 233/239 cam, thinkn about goin with a Vig 3200 there under rated stalls so its about a 3500-3600 stall

Thinki got a few possibilities here 3200 vig which is equivalent to 3500-3600 stall with about 15k miles for $375 or yank ss4000 2.6 str just had clutch replaced $500 shipped opinions?

Yes exactly I had talked to a few guys and they said with a stock ls1 shoot for a 2800 3200 stall. Now that I know what cam is going in it then yes shoot for nothin higher than a 3600. Also rear gear is gonna make the difference in stall speed too.

[99ls1]

Well its on its way yank ss4000, think im gona need some 3.73s not to get rid of the 2.73s
