    I'm putting together a 540 ci blower motor for my 1900 pound altered with a glide, and I was wondering where I should have the converter stall? I ran it last year with an injected 540 and stalled it at around 5200.:) It worked great. I just think that the blower motor is going to build a lot more grunt and 5200 may be to high :confused:. Any imput would be very helpful.
    Thanks Chuck.

    when I was running a blown chevy I went with A-1 converter. a 10" 4000 stall. It will keep you from striking the tires to hard. just my 2cents of experience. your results may vary. :rolleyes: whats in bobs' alterd?

    Bob says his is like 3800, but Ken doesn't think so. Any way have you seen Bobs car launch? I would like a little better results than that. I was thinking 4300 to 4500.

    How much do you think? I was thinking 4300 to 4500. Is that still to much? :confused:
    Thanks, Chuck

    It's really going to depend on your power level,....car weight,... rear end gear and tires.
    I'd probably start out a little too tight and work from there. Too lose and it will be pretty violent on the starting line....or should I say can be.

    maybe a 4200-4500 range would help keep the pump up where you would want it. it would tug on the motor for the bad tracks. thats the problem with a converter-short wheelbase blown car. different stalls needed, no slip. :confused::eek: sell it all and get a clutch, you know you want too. ;) and it will help break the weak 8 3/4 rearend. Ah yes, the money pit has sucked in another one. :p
