Re: Torque Converter question?

We need gear ratio, and desired tire height too. These can crutch a engine with low torque, and move relatively ideal around the map. Also the cam duration is a big deal. More over lap the lower the torque, and bigger need for a high stall converter. Judging by the rpm band your in the neighborhood of 250 duration at 50 thousandths. Or roughly a duntov 3030 cam.

A deep gear ratio like 5.13's are less stall sensitive then lets say 2.73's.

2.73's will get more cowbell from a loose converter the. 5.13's.

Converters are fuzzy logic, and simple changes can have big effects.
The power range he quoted was for the intake not the cam.
