    What kind of rear gear do you have? 3000 is good if you have 3.42 or 3.73 gears. Some members have gone up to 3500 stall.

      you'll really want an LSD for traction reasons..in that case i dont see why a 3000 would be too high..also..if its your daily driver i believe you'll want the lock-up option so that it doesnt effect you're daily/highway driving

        Rule of thumb when choosing a convertor is 1000 Rpm less than your peak torque...Its the STR and pump that you need to worry about with different gears and cams

          should give good gains as long as you catch traction.
