Operating Range

I am sorry Ryan, but I gave you the wrong numbers. You need a stall converter fo about 3000 RPM. That will provide you with enough lower RPM power to accelerate from a dead stop on the street, but will also give you tire smoking performance. But keep in mind that a higher stalling converter will provide much more heat, so you will need a heavy duty trans cooler.

As for the duration, thats what determines the cam operating range. Longer duration will hold the valve open longer and means more air into the chambers and thus provide more power.

A good rule of thumb when picking a stall converter is for a cam with an advertised duration of up to 248, go with a 2000 to 2400 stall converter; advertised durations up to 272, go with a 2400 to 2900 stall converter; and cams with advertised durations of 273 or larger, go with a 3000+ stall converter.

Hope this helps
