2500 RPM stall will feel almost like a stock converter until you hammer it, and shouldn't lose you gas mileage. Should be enough stall for that cam.

In my experience, converters up to about 2800 stall (9.5-10"), if built right, don't sacrifice much driveability or mileage over a stock converter.

Make sure you get stall quoted for a Slant and not a V8. If you order a 2500 stall for a V8 it will stall around 1800 on a Slant.

Why do convertors exhibit different stall characteristics with V8's than sixes?

I don't know the technical specifcs of it Al but I recall reading it has to do with the motors torque, the less torque the lower the same converter will stall.

Call Andre at www.edgeracingconverters.com I bought my converter (not yet installed but came recommended from someone else on this board). He was very straight forward and good to deal with. Ask him what he recommends, and also check out their website.
