    I have an idea that we may never hear from you again, because I'm not telling you what you think you want to hear. I'm 75 years old, have been doing this stuff for over 60 years and I often have to tell fellows what they don't want to hear.

    I will take this opportunity to explain to you that you size a converter by matching the stall speed with the low operating range of the cam. If the cam has an operating range of 1800 to 5400, for instance, then you need to add 500 rpm's to the low point of the range and size the converter at 2300 or round it off to 2500. A 2500 or even a 3000 stall converter is a very easy drive in a street car, not radical at all.

    Best of luck to you.
