another guy stuck in the 70's. that was the rule of thumb back then. no more then 3k on the street. converter technology has come a long way since then and these guys just don't get or understand it i guess. its amazing how high of a stall you can safely run these days. i thought sean at dynamic was nuts when he suggested a 3800 stall for my dart. i said its mostly a street car. he said no problem. guess what. he was dead on. that car cruised the streets like a it had a stock converter in it. on the track it would launch like it was shot out a cannon..
