what if i dont have the right stall converter?
My cam specs recomend a 3000 stall. But as far as i know mine is just a 2000. What kind of problems will i encounter. Just a lack of power on the lower end?

If you load your engine up at 2000rpm and your cam wants 3000rpm than you will not get your best ET because you are operating outside of your cam spec. Its not going to hurt anything but your ET an MPH. If you put a 3500 stall in it you will see what I mean right off. We'll have fun with it.

itll be a real dogg with a big cam and small converter dont mix

learned this when i was 18 put a 240 240 530 540 cam in a bb olds 455 with a stock converter it wouldnt even burn the tires
you need a 3000 for any muscale car in my opinion
