I am using a 10” converter behind a BB. The manufacturer’s advertisement says 1500+ rpm increase over stock in one place and with a BB 3400-3600 rpm in another. I'm not sure what rpm to use for a cam recommendation.
An educated guess would be much appreciated.
Thanks

A typical 10" converter will jave about 3500 stall behind a big block. The motor should rev to 6000 comfortably or you will not have enough RPM to keep things moving. I run a 10" modified to a low stall (3000) speed behind a 408CI motor that revs easily to 6000+. Also run 3.73 gears.

I don't think there's any contradiction in what the manufacturer's ads say. If it's a 1500 rpm increase over a stock convertor that would make for a total stall rpm of about 3400-3600 with the new one, (or something close to that). Sounds about right.
