My maro will have the gt cam ported and plished heads and intake and posi traction with 3.42's. I heard where its a good idea to upgrade the torque converter as well. What stall converter would be best with this setup?

3800 stall would do fine. -
What are the specs on the cam?
Who is doing your tuning (please tell me that you are getting it tuned)?

ditto. I have a 3000 stall and almost wish it was just a little higher. With the cam, I would guess 3200-3400. Get the car dyno-ed first, then talk to Andre at www.edgeracingconverters.com he will build one for your car.Originally posted by FireFighter:

Yes, a few dyno pulls once your setup is complete would be the best way to pick a convertor.Originally posted by ellik:

dyno first before you stick a verter that high in there. also think about what kind of manners you want it to have on the street.\'01 Mineral Grey SVT Cobra<br />-former F-body ownerComment

Generally speaking, you should choose a converter that will put you in the meat of your powerband when you launch. This is why you should have the car dynoed first.Originally posted by Brett Garret:
