I will admit that my bigass stall converter can be annoying, as you do have to get up on the stall to achieve any sort of useable acceleration, BUT - I can achieve merging speed in the first 60ft of the ramp :-D
PS - just threw the UPR rear coilover setup in the car, AMAZING difference from the old megabite LCAs and comp drag shocks.

The stall is interesting because of the sound the car produces as I accelerate - people in traffic seem to expect the car to either explode or take off, all from bringing the the engine RPM up to the stall speed.
With the tall tires on the back (approx 28") my converter doesnt do much untill ~3300rpm while cruising. Cruising RPM? ~2000..... Difference in noise and perception from little old ladies? Amazing.

One thing to mention though - Dont try to install the front coil overs without reading the instructions............ you NEED camber/caster plates to install the front coilovers... Even if you arent altering the ride height.... Ugh - more money into this suspension....
That and your sales guy tricked me into new front a arms.... Tricky! "Would you like new lower control arms as well today?" How do you say no to that?

hahaha! I hear ya man. I'm constantly ordering more parts, and I work for the company. It never ends!
But boy do they launch hard when the suspension is set up.
