How is it benniffical to have a high stall converter?

Colorado_Mustang

It allows the engine to rev into its power band when launching the car from a stop.

The negative with a stall converter is the lack of response at low rpm's in normal driving and the tranny fluid will be warmer if the engine is kept at rpm's lower than the lockup.

There is a guy on here with a 5200 stall "unlocked" but it allowed him to shift gears like a triptronic how does this work.

Shifting deals with the valve body, not the torque converter. A 5200 rpm stall is worthless on the street and should only be considered for track use...straight tracks only.

With a very high stall could and auto domoniate the manuals?

Only if you could get traction. By the time you have that much stall, you have to have one heck of an engine anyway.

5200 is a lot of stall!

i thought 3500 was kind of a lot lol. to help with the warmer tranny fluid you can by a trans cooler though. thatd help solve that problem. but yea...a built auto with a shift kit and a stall converter could be better than a manual. a lot of drag racers use automatics cuz they can actually be a lot faster once theyre built up.

Yes givin that the car hooks a high stalled auto will dominate most manuals cars. If you talking about the cars we have been pm'ing each other about, a high stall is one of the best mods, and the lockup can be programed to lock at pretty much any point you want.
