For street use, a 3000 (flash) stall convertor is about as high as you should
go. I have a 3000 stall from SMR Transmissions in Ontario. On the street
and with his design, I barely notice it with my gears. Only when you hammer
the pedal will it immediately flash up to 3000 rpms ( and then, hang on :-) ).
For track use only, I should be running a 4000 stall convertor since my peak
torque was at 4400 rpm but. like most of us, our Daks are daily drivers. HTH.
SMR is owned by Pat Storey. He races (or did) a 97 hemi Dak in Super Stock.
