Putting together a budget street car combo, and cam grinder suggested a at minimum at 2500+ stall converter (230/236 at .050 duration). I've found a local guy selling a very nice used dynamic 9.5" converter that stalled at 3800rpm behind his 340 with a 509 purple cam, 10.5:1 compression, and 4.56 gears in a street duster. My combo is a 3700lb volare wagon with an aluminum headed 8.5:1 360 running a 3.06 rear axle ratio (may go to 3.23 at some point). I have read that the lower numerical gear ratio will make the converter flash higher, but I wonder if the weight, lower compression and power will drop the converter stall speed to something more usable like a 3000-3200rpm flash point.

Looking for some input on this one since the combo will need a converter as I currently only have the stock 1800-1900 stall converter for it. Wondering if even a factory high stall (if I can find one) would be a better option, but I am trying to keep this on a budget (I know, the problem for everyone these days).

Thanks!
