Torque converter

[bigge31566]

I am installing a 350 with about 400hp in a 1983 C10 and also a 700R4 tansmission thats been beefed up with shift kit, the question I got its got a 3000 stall converter, would that be too much for a everyday driver who might just want to step on it every now and then

A must know , and it also depends on which kind of converter brand you go with , a 3000 b&m or tci are loose converter's and are not super street friendly , (I do not like them). If you call up turbo action or continetal they will build you a tight converter for your cam , gear , wieght combo that will be very street friendly and only stall at 3000 rpm , (or whatever stall they pick for your combo) when flashed. These converter's are expensive , but they are worth every penny IMO .

Don't skimp on the verter either if you restall.

There is a reason good converters cost more.
