That depends... :>)

Depends on if you're on a tight budget - and if you have the capacity to drop the tranny at will, and change it out when you want. If you're on a budget - and have to pay someone to change it out - then you might want to go with a new one now, because it certainly wouldn't 'hurt' your build to raise the stall...

thanks greg!

Welcome!

Hope the info was somewhat useful.
:cheers:

I would like to offer my opinion here. TKO. 'nuff said.....:lol:

I am kidding.

Hey Vic, I hope you get the one you need and get on the road soon. The snow is coming up there!! How is the rest of the car coming along? Did you get the starter issue all fixed up?:cheers:

Eric

YES finally, got it fixed, now just got to get it actually driving so that it get a proper charge (battery) snow is coming, Whistler Blackcomb got record breaking snow fall, i think were gonna get it bad up in the NW! sucks for our cars aha!

Just curious , but is that 242 duration @ .050 lift or is it advertised(total)duration? Could you also give the lift specs? If your running , comp cams XR294HR, which has 242 duration @ .050 and .540/.562 lift then not only will you need a higher stall converter, minimum 2400 , but you also are going to need to change your rear axle ratio over to 3.73:1 or it will have no low end on the street.

Even with a 2400 converter the car is gonna be a dog with a XR294HR. What is the part # or grind number on the cam??

Think that is a Comp Cam GRIND number XR 294 HR -- From their Extreme Energy line - 294 Hydraulic Rollers... PART NUMBER 12-443-8


THAT is one big ass cam... probably starts to make some power at 2800 rpms...

You guys are right - in a small block - that will suck on the street....

I'm running the XR288HR in my 427 ci small block - with 8 stack efi... the cubic inches can "eat more cam" and the lack of reversion in the 8 stack efi intake also helps tame the cam as well.... and I'm running a 2800 stall converter with 3:73's
