I have a 92 gt with a f303 can and was wondering what size stall converter would best suite my needs.

I'm thinking that you're gonna have to give up more info than a camshaft if you want an answer to that...

Generic answer but around 3k rpm stall would work well.

Most cam cards have a recommended stall on them. Of course they are for a street application, what is the purpose for this vehicle?

I'd say at least 3000RPM, maybe even 3500RPM especially if the car is a heavier convertible or so.

F cam likes revs, so with an AOD, you really want to get up in the revs as soon as you can.

To be honest, with an AOD, I'd look for a cam that makes torque down low. An 86-88 speed density cam is great for this...but then you lose that cool sound.

Yea from what it looks like I could do a t5 swap and have more fun with it for almost the same money

I've always enjoyed a manual more than an automatic on the street/limited track duty. Full on race car...auto...but it's still not as fun. To build an AOD right,it costs considerable,but so does the manual. You could throw a good valve body/trans cooler and torque converter in and be happy. T5 swap isn't cheap if you add a lot of new parts...i.e. Clutch,flywheel,cable-quadrant,good shifter,etc.

Best mod I ever did to my car was take the AOD out and stuff a t5 in

Right up until you make decent power and realize that if the clutch wasn't slipping the input shaft would be snapping...

That's where I'm at.... can't dump the clutch, have to roll into the throttle and one miss shift and it's over....

Still alot of fun.
