You and me both. I'm curious of the input from the mpd guys as they seems to have the most experience and real world driving with the singles.

Jared what stall would you recommend using with the 75mm?

Josh's Black Dually with Dual pumps and a 75mm Runs a 2400rpm spragless converter. Dont forget, horsepower will play a difference in how the truck feels. A 450HP truck with a 2000rpm converter will feel a little different than a 900HP truck with a 2000rpm converter.
:EDIT Please understand Josh's dually is competition only, not a streeted truck, and he wants to leave as agressively from the line as he can

For street driving. I wouldnt run below a 2200 RPM converter, but I dont want a sloppy pig.. Its just my personal preference, so dont take it as "you should do as I say"

FWIW, I wouldnt put a 1600RPM converter with a 75mm Truck on ANYTHING that was streeted. Ask Craig, he put a 75mm Kit with Dual Pumps On Dexter Tapscott's truck (not sure if hes on here or not) with one of our 1600 RPM converter in one of our built trans. Dexter's truck was a PIG.

2200 RPM RCD Converter installed in place, epic win.

Jared's correct. My truck benefited from a higher stall with the 75 & 80 as far as spooling and lighting..1700 RPM's was the sweet spot when the turbo lit.

You realize stock stall is like 2000 right? Our converters are 300-400 rpm below stock, that's why they are so radically different...

Maybe so, I've heard 1650 many times. My new converter will probably be a couple hundred rpm over stock just to see what happens. Stock stall wasnt bad with my 80

stock stall on a stock truck comes in at 1800 if I recall. Depending on the charger and power like Jared said changes for better or worse. larger non vgt charger need a higher stall.

so you think a 2200 stall would work well with my 75 setup? You guys have all been a great help and with everyone's input i think im going to love the truck when its done.
