A 2800 stall? You think that would be better for my application? I'm 300 lbs lighter than stock (even with the aod) but making roughly stock hp. Would 2800 stall get me into my powerband better? I read somewhere that the converter should be about 500 rpms below your peak torque.... Stock makes torque at 3000 or 3200 for the carbed stangs? Hmmmm. I guess it wouldnt matter since it would have to be a lockup unit and it would be "stalled" in OD anyways so the stall speed would not affect my cruising rpms or efficiency.... I think...right. I'm now torn between 2400 and 2800 stall.

I already installed a cooler as part of my AOD install! I thought ahead! It's decent. It's nylon ziptied into the front of the radiator and it goes 3/4 of the way up and halfway across the front. (Doesnt attaching cooling devices to the radiator actually create a transmission heater?....)

I checked out the GER page and they seem to stock 3000 stall converters and 2000 stall converters but the 3000's are like almost $500. I got $400 buring a hole in my pocket, but it's only $400! =P
