No!

It really depends on your trucks setup and what you want to do with it.

I want it to pull so hard that my fillings fall out!

Is the truck built for the street.. the strip or both? http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif for the street i would say 22-2500, for the strip.. 3000+ depending on the motor and trans.

It has a 480 Lunati bracket master cam

A edelbrock 4barrel and intake.I drive it on the street.

donl;t go any bigger than 2500... remember the factory ca\'t desighn it so it\'s exactly 2500 rpm... that stall behind some engines could be as high as a 3000 and as low as 2000 it all depends on the engine... but by the sounds of it your engine doesn\'t make a lot of power untill higher rpm so it should be at least 2500 the converter cuts in when there\'s so many lb ft of torque to it... and with a big cam you don\' make a lot of torque down low so it should stall higher
