TC is going in friday night after 1 failed attempt! (3rd allenhead bolt torqued WAY TOO TIGHT) But ive been anxiously waiting for a couple of months now and i just wanted to get an ideal on what to expect the first time i WOT the first time after the install?

 

stalls are more for off-the-line acceleration, you won't notice a night and day difference from a roll--- I think. Being that I own an M6 I can't really back this statement up.

 

Supposed to be more or less like dumping the clutch at 3600 right??? the guy i bought it from said they liven up the deadspots in an A-4??? anybody??

 

Not so much dumping the clutch at 3600...more like feathering the clutch there (at a more agressive part of the power band) until the car's speed catches up to the 3600 rpms the motor is turning. The STR is what tells you just how hard it will give you that "punch" out of the hole. That's why, if you have a higher STR, they suggest drag radials or slicks.

 

It'll get you into the rpm range quicker from a roll, you'll feel way more torque off the line w/ just everyday driving...yea and it'll take care of your dead spots

 

You'll definately want sticky tires. I'm a very brave soul, who has a 3800 stall with a 2.6 stall ratio... and street tires. Yeah, any speed under 40mph is a waste

Also, once you get it, you'll wonder how you ever lived without one. I almost think that all auto sports cars should come with a more aggressive stall from the factory.

 

lightly feathering the gas at low speeds will feel less responsive... like you lost power...


but like someone said...


dent the floorboard from a 20 roll on street tires....


and you'll be leaving ghost strips all the way to 90

i had a 2400 in my lt1...

to this day... the only bigger difference i've felt was when i changed from lt1-ls1... and the ls1 change was all high end...

they feel the same down low cause of the lt1 torque curve

 

wow i can't wait till i get me a new TC. If it makes half the difference you guys says it does, looks like i'll be in for a treat.

 

i dunno what you run now...

but with a 02 z... if your bone stock...

it WILL put you in the 12's

Man i cant wait!!!!!!!! BTW it has a 1.5 str

 

maybe not 90... but possibly... i can see a high stall ghosting you all the way to 2nd redline... which for me is 86mph

hell, right NOW from like 10-15mph... if i flat out floor it... i make little light faded tracks all the way after it shifts to 2nd

with a high stall....


kinda makes you feel tingley all over don't it?

 

From running a hartop A-4 vette multipe times i put his nose at my rear bumper and stayed that way to about 140 every time so im guessing somewhere in the mid to lower 13 second range! Sound right?

 

umm... a c5 hardtop a4 should be around 13 flat stock, if not 12's actually.... more likely high 12's


maybe you got a good runner...



you need to hit the track to get some times buddy

 

STR??? what is this, how does it affect stall performance, what would be a "good" (?) STR for street use with a 3500 stall?? Thanks

 

Damn this warrenty. That is officially the first thing i do when my warrenty ends.
