The cam I installed in my engine has the rpm range listed at 3600-7600. What stall speed toque converter would be best suited for this cam? Would a factory torque converter from an h.p. 383/440 be O.K. or do I need to go aftermarket and get a higher stall converter? Rear gears are 3.73.
A cam listed with those rpm hi and low points is quite radical, requiring a high stall of some sort. What you need depends on end usage. Race only? Probably a high 5,000 to over 6000 stall. Street driving part of the equation? Tighter. But most likely 4,000 minimum for decent results. There are so many variables, only a good converter builder will know what to recomend. I am guessing the minimum price for a quality
Converter will be in the range of $750 and up, and most likely more. DO NOT go for a bargain priced unit! Get a part time gig. Sell the cat, what ever it takes but buy QUALITY.
