I will be changing the engine in my 1988 GTA. Original is a 350 TPI @ 230 HP. The engine I'm putting in is a 11:1 350 I built that makes 350 -360 HP (yes, it runs on 93 octane) for the street. The cam has 224 degrees duration @ .050 with lobe separation angle of 108 degrees. The lowest stable Idle RPM in neutral is right at 1000 rpm. Remember this is a 700R4 lockup converter. What stall speed converter should I use? Which brand? TCI or B&M? Any brands that are junk? Will the stock transmission handle it? Any mods that I need to make to the transmission? Your thoughts and comments would be appreciated. Andy W. p.s. For the flamers, yes I have already run-in the engine in an S-10 at the track, did some very nice 1/8 mile burnouts at 6500 rpm...WITH a Quadrajet.
