What stall for a pt70gtq?

[sixgun86gn]

I am building a LUV truck with a 4.1 and I am thinking of using the pt70gtq on it(race only).What stall should I use on the converter to get it to spool quick?Trans will be a th350.

If its race only why would you need quick spool. Put at least a 3800 stall in.

I don't want to sit at the line for 10 minutes trying to get it spooled up on a pro tree.That is why I want a fast spoolup.Thanks for the info.

I agree a 3800 stall should work great

What is the weight on your Luv truck?

I'm going to keep it around 2500# .

Why would you ask for help/info and then dis-regard it?

A 4.1 with a PT70gtq is NOT going to 60' with a 2500 converter. I just changed a converter in a GN to a 3800 and a BB70 turbo and it is doing 1.4 60' times. Did a 4.1 a while back with a 38-4000 stall and it got 1.4's also.

There is no exact way to pick a converter, it is trial and error. Based upon your build, and the cars I have messed with, a 3800 stall would be a good starting point.
