Someone correct me if I'm wrong but it acts like a clutch on manual trans cars. I think the stock stall is around 1900, so the car won't start moving until then. With a higher stall speed, the converter won't lock until the rpms reach that speed, so you can get a better launch in the power range

There's a lot of factors that play into it, like matching the stall with the cam/gear. That is my understanding

EDIT: damn you guys are good lol

Im on my iPhone too so it takes a bit longer to respond. I just barely beat u as I type with my fat thumb. It can be a bit frustrating

Most forums you don't get a reaponce. Here you actually race to respond first. What do you need to do to change it? Would it be smart to install a cam or anything else while that's being done.

What's ur question^^^

kevilay

Let me rephrase.

If I'm having a torque converter instaled what's required to change it? Will they have anything taken apart where I can save money by changing other stuff at the same time.

Unfortunately now days shops charge a price for each and every install no matter what. However some will knock the price down a bit especially if ur a repeat customer. I had a dual Afco heat exchanger installed when I did the TQ install

I'll pick it up from here...lol.
What is required for the convertor, right?
Most stall convertors require a final gear of 3.55 or higher, which will result in a new tune to reset the shift points.
Its a good idea to combine the two at the same time...gear/tc. I doubt it will save you any money, but it sure will change your holeshot

Did u get one mayo. I remember in a thread u had talked about it

mayo

Not yet, but its my plan to head over to brenspeed next spring and do the combo, gear/tc. How is the t/c for everyday driving outceltj? Does it improve anything other than the ability to stall?
