Converter stall recommendation
Just put in a new 383, Full roller,forged,aluminum heads,825 mighty Demon with mech sec,airgap manifold. Has 3:70 rear end. Comp Cam XR288HR Duration @ 0.050"236/242, LS-110. Current stall 2800. Has slow acceleration up untill 3000rpm,When I put it in gear, engine almost stalls and increase vibration. Torque curve starts climbing at 2800 http://www.compcams.com/Technical/Dy...8HR-10_001.asp

I would think a true 2800 stall would be enough to keep it from stalling when going in gear. THats plenty loose enough for driveability. ALTHOUGH with that size cam and motor characteristics, it probably really wants a 3200-3600 converter. IF you go with a good brand and have one built for your motor, they can give you enough stall speed but still keep it relatively tight when cruising at light throttle. Art Carr, Coan, Continental, Vigilante, Yank are all good companies. Stay away from TCI, B&M and local speed shop/Summit-Jegs converters. They are all junk
You need something that is going to flash to around 4k. I think a decent 10" converter would do the trick.
