Stall and Shift RPM Question.

3000 is way too high for a mild cam. what your imposed "3000 stall" means is the converter will slip until the engine reaches 3000 RPM. then it's supposed to lock at 1:1. so the entire time you're driving at anything under 3K, you're slipping the converter. I think a nice 1900-2100 stall (on the high side) would be more suitable. The alleged "2500" powerband you're feeling will come down greatly with a little more stall. putting a 3k in it will unnecessarily heat the trans, and put you way too far toward the top of your usable RPM range to be of practical use.

you want your stall to be pretty close to the suggested beginning rpm range. whats the Pn on the cam? "xe26" is a series with about 10 different cams in it.
