Why can't everyone just put things this simply. Thank you!

[mattmccoy]

See this dead straight answer is what I was looking for.

E X C E L L E N T, simple tutorial. Great and easy to understand the SS of a TC in relation to the engine camshaft. Much appreciated sir!

[rexcameron]

i've built many street, stock, and performance race engines. i've always used the minumum "basic rpm operating range" on the converters

Hey Lou, I like the advise you're giving in this video.  I really think you need to address gear ratio and tire size though in relation to power band at cruising speeds for cars that will be driven at less then WOT.  It's no good to put a "big" cam with a 3500 stall converter in a car that cruises at 2500 rpm at 65 mph.

thanks for the tip, i think i'm OK 427 L-88 cam TH 400, 3000 stall, might be just a bit under power band, thanks for the video .

Thanks for your help and big hints on stall converters nd cam comparison

[jjjones]

I'm running a 2k-2200 stall...wanted to change cam...cam saying a 2400 stall...is it worth me switching it...or would I be ok with my current stall?

[daddycausey]

big up for all of the information given. thx

[richwhite]

I have a 94 z28 mild cam headers and a lot of other easy stuff

[sunzoutgunzout]

most the time you need a bigger stall as most stalls do not stall at rated rpm

[DELTRANIO]

Great info vid ...Would you know what stall speed a 85 Iroc would have ?

[ripper-wrench]

I'm building a 62 Sunbeam with a 350 sbc, camel humps w/screw in studs, 3/4 Crane fireball cam, Team G intake, 10.5:1 compression, 650 duel feed double pumper, Scorpion roller rockers, T350 w/B&M shift kit. I've been looking at a TCI "Sizzler" 2600-2800 torque converter?

Got a stock cam, heads, foxbody 5.0 carb .got new nos system 373 gears drag radials tires headers .and a new tci Aod streetfighter transmission what stall do you recommend?

This video should be titled. How to read a camcard.

I have a rebuilt 302 foxbody with e303 cam gt40p heads cobra upper n lower intake & 410 gears... Pairing with a b&m trans with shift kit... I put my stall in wrong so I'm going with another one but what would be a match to go with setup... Thanks

[ghostman]

that was nice and simple...thanks bro..

[johnpaulcampbell]

Can you help identify a converter?
Numbers are 7413 and 33499 on it

[PScrewHead]

Ok thanks Lou, do the torque converters help acceleration times?? That's what i'd like. (:

[robinduncan]

How do I know what stall speed I have now. Is it marked some way on the converter
