Recently swapped out the factory grind 300hp cam in my 327 for the old style 350hp/327 cam... (I think the specs are 222/222 .447/.447) I know it's an old school cam and I probably could've gotten more power from a Comp XE cam but my dad has a 68 Camaro with a 350hp 327 Muncie and posi rear and I got hooked.
Anyway my Chevelle has a TPI built 200-4R trans with a "stock stall" converter and a 3.73 posi 12-bolt rear. The new cam runs is great after it gets rolling, but from a stop... the converter is too tight. I can break the tires loose on every shift until fourth, but off the line it just boggs down. What would be the best stall speed for a weekend crusier (and occasional daily driver) and occasional trip to the track? Also what company would you suggest. I want to keep the lock-up feature for driveability. Thanks.
