  • stock convertors

    what is the stall rating of a 99 stock convertor? is it the same as a 00+? i can only brake torque my car up to about 1900 and it just sits there. in hte drag racing forum someone was asking what to brake torque to and keith said <blockquote>quote:</font><hr> 00+'s can brake torque higher.. which is why they cut better 60's and sometimes run better. <hr></blockquote> is that because they have a higher stall rating?

    I'm not sure where in the years that the converters change.. but I'm pretty sure they do somewhere.

    96-97 converters SUCK .. I have verifified this on SEVERAL stock cars.. where as a 00 can easily break the tires loose.

    Somewhere in the year I THINK that the converters got a little looser.

        Do this..

        Go WOT from a stop and a SPLIT second after you hit the gas hit the brake.. This will kind of SHOCK the tires and converter.. you might move up a little but you shoudl be able to stop the car while keeping it high enough in the RPM's to keep the car spinning.

          Same here, my stall is about 1800-1900 and the tires don't spin, thats why I'm gonna get a 3600 stall converter! [img]smile.gif[/img]

          -Thats a good idea Magnus, I will give that a try.

            FYI, my 2002 stall speed is 2400 rpm, totally stock. It seems that anyone thinking of getting a high stall converter should go at least 3000 rpm to make the cost worth it.

                I can get it up to around 2K myself. If I rev it up any higher I'll start spinning the tires. I usually launch around 1600-1700 tho and my 60' times appreciate that :D

                  I can stand at the line til about 2200... I usually launch at 1900... at 2000 if the tires arent tacky enought I spin enough to make a difference.. Mine is an 01.. non Y87 if that makes a differnce, I also have a 2002 tranny... I am on tranny #2 [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]
