Default Correct stall speed

Can anyone give me some advice for the correct convertor for my street/ bracket car? '78 Mustang II with a 302/C4 combo. 4.30 gears. 25" diameter rear tires. The 302 runs very strong. Conservative compression with 9.5:1 Forged pistons, ARP rod bolts, balanced assembly, ported 289 49 cc heads with Chevy valves, Harland Sharp valvetrain, 292H cam, port matched Victor Jr intake with a mechanical 750 Holley. The stock convertor is in it which is low stall speed for the power band of the engine. Any thoughts? Thanks!

With purple stallion u have one free stall change the price is well worth it I gained 4 tenths just on motor and 8 at least on spray. They are CNC machined right after u order.

If you are interested in talking with someone after you've done some reading try calling the boys at www.lentechautomatics.com They can give you clear answers about what size and stall speed to use with your gears and cam.

Ask for Len, hes been helping me with a transmission I bought from them a couple of years ago. Tell him Jorge from NYC recommended his business. He's a nice guy and will take the time to talk to you.
