Deciding on a first stall

theres no point to anything less than a 3600 on an ls1, unless its got boost

I agree with 3600, but on stocks heads and cam if you go higher than that and aren't doing it just for the ET gain at the track you are just pissing away fuel mileage for nothing gained on the street. I liked my 3600 at the track but IMO it made the car run flat 90% of the time on the street, especially on a nice windy hilly road.

it depends, there is more to it than just stall speed. fwiw the fastest bolt on only LS1s are running PT4400 and theyre well into the 11s.

Never said the fastest ones weren't high stalls, makes perfect sense. but I be willing to bet they don't see a whole lot of street time. And yes you do have to match the whole drivetrain but I believe he said he had 3.42's and I am assuming stock 16 or 17 inch wheels. Like I said on a stock car the ss 3200-3600 is, IMO the best compromise, taking into account tire size, gearing, cam selection etc. But really the best bet is to find some to drive and see how you like it. And I stand firm on the you tube video opinion. You can throw out facts and RPM bands all day long but until you feel it you can't possibly get a true opinion. You can't feel the throttle response or the cars reaction through a video you can only guess.

So anyway long story short find some to drive and see what you like. You can plan it out on paper all day and have it be nothing like you expected
