I had a chance to test drive the 3600 pump #7 Vigilantee. It flashes at 4200, so that's what the real stall is. Car had a blue bottle in the back, but I was not allowed to flip any switches. :( I was tempted since it was dark and I had my hand on the shifter, just millimeters away. :D It was a on a LS1 that has every bolt on, full drag suspension(Hals, BMR poly LCAs....).
Pump #7 = 3.0 STR
It hits very hard off the line. Thanks to Hals set to 1 in the front and 4 in the rear I was seeing the moon quiet often.
The test. No traction on the street on WOT launch. Kuhmos make noise on my car but it still moves forward. With this converter Kuhmos didn't move the car anywhere. I had to partial throttle the launch. The car moved like you wouldn't believe. It's like my car on a 200 shot. Downshifts almost threw me back into the seat. I was very impressed. I love this converter. Talk about passing power. Instantly I'm at 5K+ and flying past cars. Drivability was very good. I put it in reverse and it moved before even applying the gas. Just like a stock converter. In drive I didn't really test it with no gas. I was too impatient to apply alot of gas. The converter locks up at about 45mph. If you slow down it will stay locked so RPM are around 1.5K or so. Just like a stock conveter. I would have no problems at all daily driving a 4200 stall. It's only noticable when on the gas. It PULLS!!! When just crusing, it's not that noticable. Very drivable.
I'm not recommending this high of a stall on a V6. Just trying to easy some of your fears that a high stall is for track only.
Maybe I should get this converter. ;)
