Hello Larry,

Stall speed is a tough one because there are so many factors. Here's a URL that might get you started:

Torque converter intro

Beyond that I'd suggest you go on line to the various torque converter mfrs. Most of them have a form you fill out and submit, and then they recommend a stall speed.

It'd be especially enlightening I suspect, to give several of them your specs and see if the recommendations come back similar

Here are a couple of mfrs to get you started:

Performance Automatic

Edge Racing

There are plenty of others too such as B&M, TCI etc etc.

Hope this helps!

Tom

PS: I ended up with the Edge unit after having problems with the TCI. So far, so good
