SLP / YANK 2800 Stall Torque Converter Myth?

Ok guys, I am not very experience with Auto's but since I got a SLP / Yank 2600-2800 stall converter, shouldn't I be able to hold the brake, give it some gas to around that stall range and not spin? Maybe the car makes too much torque? I dont know, maybe this piece of shi_ is a piece of shi_!

Where should i expect to rev at stop and not spin the tires?

your looking for brake stall and your brakes cant handle the torque, thats not how you use a stall anyways, you'll just burn it up that way. You need to look at flash stall, barley off idle then floor it and see what it flashes to. You'll get more stall speed that way and a more agressive launch that way. Sounds like your trying to produce a transbrake effect with your car and unless you have a transbrake to hold the car back your going to spin the tires and burn the trans fluid up. Another point is your aftermarket convertor more than likely has a better TMF(torque multiplecation factor, probably around 2.2 to 2.4 where stock is 1.5 to 1.75) so you actually produce more torque to your rear tires now. Do yourself a favor and do some research on stall and the way to use them, you'll be ahead of the game if you do. j/m/o
