waybad wrote:my 2 cents on how a converter works
lower gears(3.73-5.13 ect) = less stall
higher gears( 2.54-3.55) = more stall
more torque = more stall
heavy car = more stall
light car = less stall
lower 1st = less stall
put your car in high gear and cruise about 15 mph and floor it,, if it will stay in high gear, watch
your tach and that is close to your flash stall..add all this up and get yourself close
hope this helps..
also a converter built for boost or nos will have a tighter stall for the equal size of non power adder converter....
just my 2 cents.. :bored:


THANX 4 YOUR 2 CENTS :th:
I appreciate ANY advice I can get,
I've wasted a lot of time, effort, and $$$ becuz I was afraid 2 ask 4 it.

update.....
I purchased a torque converter from JEGS,
3100 to3500 stall speed
part # 555-60403
took the car out today.
BIG difference in how it launches.
thanx for all your help.

So how are the street manners? How is it just cruising in slower traffic?
Thanks

you can feel some "slippage" occurring at lower RPM, but when you launch in first gear, you forget about it. :th: :lol:
