I just wanted to state something....
But please understand this is not a flame or anything like that. All the info so far seams to be accurate (because, I claim not to be a converter or transmission specialist.) but the statement made by Crazypete: "gearing of the car has nothing to do with the stall speed" ....is completly incorrect. Besides the torque curve of the engine you must account for: vehicle weight... gearing... any power adder.. cam shaft profile... (how big and how much duration... cylinder heads.. etc, etc, etc... A good torque converter company will take all of that info, plus about 20 additional questions into consideration before designing a converter for you or matching you with a proper one. Due to the FACT that any of those things can alter and change your final stall speed! I have spent well over $2,000 on VARIOUS converters and finally bought one from Lenny at TCT converters and now I am completly satisfied! You get what you pay for! My .02's |
