That seems like quite a bit of stall, since you plan on driving it on trails as well. I would give B&M or TCI support a call and see if they can make any recommendations for you. Also check with the guys in the tranny forum, plenty of smarter than I folks in there.

I'm right there with ya, Tess. 292 adv duration on my cam. I relied on my builder to pick the converter for me (my bad) and he "guessed" way off! Still haven't replaced it yet, but I intend to. This is what the TCI website says about it:

3000 rpm also seems high to me I would like the 2600 instead.
