Another "which stall speed conv" thread!

[crazypete]

So my t-5 is totally on it's way out. I said "lets try the world of automatics". I love acceleration and performance but, man, I just love the way an automatic WANTS to go forward and it does it with one pedal and takes only 1 arm to drive the car. I know, I'm a wuss. I got a full stock AOD "kit" from a part out off ebay for $300 (see? and it's DIRT cheap) complete with stock EVERYTHING. Now I hear the stock converter is a 1500 rpm stall. I gathered from reading a few posts that you need to select a converter stall for where you want the cruising speed to be. If I want to launch like on my t5 at 2400 rpms and cruise at the same then a 2400 rpm converter is the right choice? What diameter should I go for?

I'm 400 lbs lighter (how much more does an AOD weigh than a t5?), running 3.73's and a full carb conversion.

Thanks guys!
