Default Flat-O torque converter

Can anybody tell me what the stall speed is on the converters that come with the Flat-O-Matic conversions? Trying to get cam recommendations and they all want to know what the converter stall speed is. Can't find anything on the Flat-O web site, and nobody answers the phone at there number. Thanks

The Flat o matic converter is small and is about the same as a c4 stock convertor.
You want a cam to idle at 500 rpm .Driving a high stall on the street you are for ever on the brskes because with a cam that idles 900 to 1000. If you are racing the c4 is better and stronger. Going down the ave you could always pull the chock out LOL
