Default Re: wow! Finally meet someone who's doing this!

So you are saying your stock stall speed is 2600?

Default Is there any point to doing the TQ upgrade without the tranny?

I'm VERY in the dark about auto transmissions (and pretty black on manuals too for that matter)

Default I thought stock TC flash was 3200RPM??

Maybe I was wrong but searching through the forums maybe 1.5 years ago I thought I remember seeing that number.

Either way, I would definitely go higher than a 3kRPM stall on a converter. First off if you're going to spend all the money to do it, you might as well get a big stall. I wouldn't go lower than 4k RPM truthfully. With AWD, you'll get good traction off the line, so just go with a high STR. Say something like a 3.0 or 3.5STR with a 4kRPM stall would feel pretty good I think.

With the higher STR it won't feel as loose and you shouldn't break the tires loose either. Basically, the trick to combat the loose feeling in a loose stall is to combine it with a high STR. Usually this is a balancing game as a high STR just hits the tires so hard it usually spins them. But with AWD, this is much more unlikely.

Give me the choice to have a custom built tranny and converter I would do something like a 4500RPM high stall with 5kRPM flash and 4.0STR.

Good luck with it and let's see some 1.5x 60' times on street tires!!!

I have heard ppl say that number, but I could never get over 2500.

Why would you use such a high stall when peak torque is about 3200-3300 on a full stage III package?
