Default TorQue ConVertErs????

wat It Do my friends...., i have a question so if u know the answer please feel free 2 help out..!! i recently , or 2 months ago had my tranny (AOD) rebuilt with a 2200-2400 stall on it..., but....., thing iz is that i expected a change in the way my tranny would work but 2 my surprise it ran just like stock,,....??? What the F%@K?? i had heard different frm other people on how it would work.! one person told me that if i had an aftermarket torque converter with a higher stall,....all i would have 2 do was break torque it and it would rev without moving til i would pass the stall then it would hook n go but thats not my case..! how do i know or feel the difference..?

first off, try organizing your post, using spell check if you have to, then head on over here.

most stalls under 3000 are useless unless you need a rebuilt one

You need more power (h/c/i swap) to make that 2400 stall useful. I've got a custom 3000 rpm stall but I can only get a 2000-2300 brake stall out of it, but my flash stall is like 3500 rpm, it's pretty sick. I need more power and it doesn't help that I'm at like 5900 ft. elevation.

any stall below 2800 is worthless. even with a ton of power your converter will still feel stock. i had a 2200rpm stall with 400rwhp and it felt (and performed) like stock. running a 3200stall from edge and its amazing.
