higher the stall the more irritable it will be on a daily driver
I went with a Yank 2800, 1.9str with 3.42s... and love it
Now that the C5 is no longer a daily driver, I kinda wish I put in 3.73 with a 3500 stall... oh well she still burns rubber controlably just fine
during the install you'll prolly want to do a gear swap as well...
I paid $750 back in 2001 for a gear and TC swap install... there is another thread about this going on right now.

Really depends on your current set-up and what you want from your car. The new T/C's are very efficient so the slip that you hear about is not an issue in this day and age unless you are looking at something big. I run 3.73 gear and a Yank SS 3600 TC. Driving on the street is just about stock feeling. Depending on what your looking for a trans cooler is a good investment when you swap the TC.

I have the Yank SS3600 and 3.90 gears, but I disagree with Bob (16Again) - the slip is quite annoying at low speed and it is noticeable - especially in traffic.
But when you stand on it at any speed - you better be pointing straight

I am pretty much stock daily driver, with the performance gears. I was thinking abut new gears but was reading a little about stalls. I just like being trown back in my seat from time to time, and think a bit more of a powerful feel at launch and passing could be even more fun.

The stall will definitely do that. It will also give you shift extensions.

Also, is this a job that I could do myself (I am OK with wrenches but not a lot of experience with the drivetrain but a fast learner), or would I need a profesional to install it?

As for the install the whole rear section of the car needs to come down, if your not familiar with it, I would take it to a shop that knows how to do it. Anytime you put a higher stall TC in you should expect additional transmission heat, a cooler is just an ounce of inexpensive prevention.

stall
Hate to disagree with those that say stall is annoying, but I have 3:42s with a yank 3500 and unless you step on it the stall is not noticeble in traffic. If you gas it the rpms do pick up, but in easy driving thru traffic is is not apparent at all.

A stall will affect your driving at all speeds and loads, so chose wisely.

I'll give you an example of relative opinions - coilovers and T1 sways. I have both, my car is slammed way, WAY lower than anyone else on this forum - yet it rides perfect to me. To others, it would be both too low and too harsh.
I think the SS3600 slips at low speed and it is not invisible. But to others, like yourself, it's perfect.
It's all good

Geezz, NOW you all talk about this.. I just got my 3.42 in this week. Got not stall done, cuz I was told it ONLY helps at the start line and not at ALL speeds, or Hwy speeds. Now, Im learning it helps at ALL SPEEDS, including city/Hwy speeds... Now what do I do? Get the stall done and pay the same labor again ?
Gotta find me some cheap labor

All that being said, I LOVE my stall..!! When it flashes, it's like being launched from a cannon!!!
