Default Automatic trans help

Tuesday my girlfriend in getting a 02 gt vert auto. it already has flowmaster and a K&N drop in.
I already have a X pipe and plenum to throw on there. We are ordering 4.10s and i was put a stall in it. but i dont know alot about autos. Do the stalls have to be tuned for because i herd if you don't it might bounce of revlimter. What size stall should i go with. the car will be driven dailey.

ive got a stalled auto. Ive got a 3000 rpm converter i really do love and is a MUST HAVE MODIFICATION but if i could do it again i would have def gone with a 3500, a tuner really makes a diffreince for the transmission it really makes a huge diffrience for the car. Night and Day!

im looking into a 3000....it only foot brakes and leaves at around stop rpm? i figured it would be a lot more than that...whats the benefit of it then?

Yeah, I am looking into a 3200-3500 myself, I don't want to leave before 1800 rpm. Stock, I start spinning at 1500.

when you say you have a 3200 converter that means it will flash to 3200...so it will leave at 3200 if you stomp it but will only footbrake to about 2k before the rear tires break loose, this is without a trans brake.


A transbrake lets you leave at the stall speed
