Ya, I allready know what a stall converter is and how it works, my car does have mods on it,& it even has custom made parts, but the stall converter is stock. I thought that some one that is running a B.B. setup could recomend a converter they like, or use.
I also understand the limitation of my egines combination, and the stall speed it can handle.

Thanks

All converters have a stall speed expressed in RPM. If they didn't, your car would die when it stops.

Now, my first question is why? Is the engine stock? If it is, using a higher stall speed will simply cause more slippage and more heat in your transmission. If you've modified your engine, then you may have a case for a higher stall speed.

Higher stall speeds in converters are to allow the transmission to slip until the engine revs up into its power band. If you engine is stock, you're already there. Also, stall speed isn't just dependent on the converter. A converter will have different stall speeds on different engines, depending on the torque output.

I'm confused with your statement that all the converters you've found say "don't use on big blocks." Everyone who makes an aftermarket converter makes one for big blocks. For example.
