im no expert on these things so im not going to say one thing or the other. i just wanted to milk you for more info so maybe someone else can help.
think of it like this a 350 stalls at 1400 a v6 is about 2k. its recommended to put a 2k stall in a 350 to stall in the power band.

Look up your cam and intake to find out there operating range.  For eg.  1500-6000rpm you could go with a 2000-2500 stall and still be able to drive it around town.  If your cam and intake are rated for higher rim then you may want to consider a 3000 stall.  I would avoid going any higher for the street.
