How would this be different than a stock stall on a daily driven car? I have never been in a car with an aftermarket stall. I am just curious as to how they are different on the street and at the track.

 

TTT, I wanna know too

 

well if it was me, i wouldn't do it, at least not 4000. Maybe like 2500 or 3000 at the most. Basically a 4000 stall means that the car won't start pulling hard until 4000 rpm's, and that's alot of rpm's to get up to for the street as a daily driver.

 

My vig 3200 stall is pretty good on the street. I don't see anything wrong with it. But if my car were a daily driver I wouldn't go more than 3200. I am now gonna run a 3600 stall. We'll see..

 

Rush hour traffic might be an issue too... not sure how a 4000 stall works with stop and go.

 

Put a 4,000 stall on a daily driver and you will be crying.

 

4K, getting little agressive there.

 

I'm running a 3,600 stall. It's not bad at all. Should be even more drivable with the added torque of the 383.

 

I have a 4200 stall in my 98Z drive it most every day and it is fine. I would just make sure you have a good tranny cooler if you are going to drive in stop and go traffic every day.

 

Why is it every one has a comment on something they know nothing about.

You drive a M6. You ever drive an auto with a high stall?

I dont get it how so many people have an oppinion about something that they don't have a clue about.?

 

I have never rode in a car with an aftermarket stall before. I am trying to get an idea of how it will be different than my stock stall. Such as will I be reving higher rpms when I take off normally, will I have to give it more gas to get the car moveing, etc...

Jeff, you will be needing to change your sig to a turbo 400 soon

 

BS-383, I have an opinion and it happens to be different than yours. I'm not clueless. I have owned vehicles with high stalls, that why I have this opinion. I'm 51 y.o. and have been in this hobby for a number of years. One should have more information regarding use of the vehicle, the engine modifications, etc prior to properly recommending a particluar converter stall speed.

I don't doubt that you are happy with your 4000 stall...but that's your opinion.

I have a friend that builds engines for a living and races most weekends in his blown alcohol fuelie SBC roadster (5.0x @ 140mph in eight). I help by crewing sometimes. He loves his 4000 stall also.

 

You shouldn't have dignified his post with a comment. I found if you ignore rude, disrespectfull people they tend to go away...

 

I guess you get a lot of rush hour traffic in Maysville (whatever), Ky.

 

The car is driven pretty often. I have a hotcam kit, LT's, CAI, Borla, crank pulley, stage 2 ported heads, 3.73's, Walbro, air foil, 1LE elbow, !EGR, !AIR, !cat, TA girdle, and there may be a couple of other small things that I am forgetting. NX wet kit waiting to be put on
