I have a Yank with a 2800 Stall, I Love it no issuses. Also Circle D makes a Great Converter from what I hear too. I have a couple of Buddies that have them and are very Happy. Glen at Cirlce D Built My Tranny and is about to Build My New 4L80!!!

I think circle-d still does a deal for members over at pt.net, I'd get a 3000 stall at least and don't forget a bigger trans cooler

Yank makes a nice converter too

I was thinking of the tr224 cam. With a converter,cam, headers and tune what kinda mpg loss should I expect?

 

[Max]

You'll probably net a bit of mileage overall, converters generally lose 1mpg for a 2600-2800 stall but the longtubes + tune will give you about 2mpg.

i would go with a Stall speeds 2600 to 3200 RPM.

the 278mm from Circle D

Had a 3k Stall from circle D. Loved it, and FOR SURE do the trans cooler.
I lost about 2 or so MPG in the city with the converter and I already had the longtubes and tune and all that good stuff. Highway MPG for me was 20-21

 

[blueflamed03]

yup, I think Circle D has that big 40K tranny coller, might as well do a 'one stop shop'.

im running the yank tt3000 and i like it..big enough to notice it, yet you can still drive pretty normal with it..no comment on mpg, i have a heavy right foot...i like hearing the 6.oh with longtubes and no cats lol

how the hell you manage that? what is your mpg with the lift and im guessing 35s? i only have a 32" tire and notice a slight decrease in my first tank. cant wait till bb tune gets here...

 

[Nickleahy23]

ive gotten as high as 19 highway, crusing at 75 for 380 miles...but that was about as good as it gets..middle of a cool night, never touched the gas/brakes until i had to stop for gas

Any problems from the yanks or circle d? I'm only familiar with top names for 1000+hp combos


Did some diggin and it seems the tr224 and a 26-2800 converter is the ticket. What do you guys think?

Oh and l33 heads are c5 heads or zo6 heads? Might try and find me some of them.

Whatever stall you think you want go 200rpm higher

you will want bigger then that. Stock, 3000 is decent..add that cam and your bumping up your power curve even more...id run at least 3000 for that cam, maybe 3200...

like i said, i cant even notice my 3000 anymore..drives just like stock for the most part when you arnt on the gas hard..
