You guys think I would need a looser stall? I wouldnt be drag racing it or anything just driving to work and around town. The reason I ask is the dyno results on the website says 485 pounds of torque at 3200 rpms so im guestimating prolly 300-400 pounds of torque between 1000-2000 rpm so could I use a stock converter instead of getting a 350 dollar converter....

I'am gonna go out on a limb here.... but I would say at least a 2500 stall converter, with that amount of H.P. It would be best to contact the engine builders to be sure.
