  6. Some Runs On A Closed Course ;)

    good vid, what happen with that vette??? good kills.

     

    I was watching him the whole time he was behind us. When me and the 350z went WOT you could see him fall behind then all of a sudden he starts to stay even then starts creeping up.

     

    I was past 120 mph on the speedo when he passed me. Once he put a length on me i let off and he kept going LOL! At first he wasn't gaining anything then he just started pulling hard. It definitely wasn't stock naughty.gif

    I've got a "beware" for ya, I hope other guys agree here....

     

    Someone can buy a "4000 rpm stall" and install it, and another guy can get a "4000 rpm stall" and install it, and the two guys might have TOTALLY different opinions...

    Some stalls are tight, some stalls are loose, some react well with one drivtrain while the exact same converter could go into a different truck with a different drivetrain and give different results... from MY experiences anyways....

     

    If you take an opinion on a certain stall, make sure you apply that opinion to that EXACT converter only, same company and specs etc....

     

    Your completely right man i was just about to put that on here LOL!!

     

    I really like the stall to tell you the truth. I used to have a yankTT3000 and even though it was a great all around converter, my 60ft times didn't change as i got used to it it kinda just felt like a stock converter.

     

    The converter i have now is a Circle D 9.5" 4C single disc 4000 stall to be exact.

     

    I took some video's of normal driving

     

    Here is light throttle

    And here is goosing it a little bit

    th_4-17-09008.jpg

     

     

     

    It is a pretty loose converter no lie. A good deal looser than my yank but I got used to it over time and love it now (like said above other people might disagree). The only part that sucks is that you have to give a little gas in reverse lol. Chris at Circle D does not recommend WOT lock-up for his single disc converter. If it was a triple disc it wouldn't be a problem but i didn't feel like paying another 300 bux lol.

     

    Now for the fun stuff. I can brake stall this converter to 3200 rpms and the shift extensions are awesome!!

    Here is my current speedo clip. Im shifting at 6650 rpms and each gear shift the rpms only drop to 5k to 5100 rpms.

    Hey luke welcome....question hows the drivability with that converter?

     

    The driveability isn't as bad as some people would think... but everyones opinions are different. I don't mind how it drives and think it isn't as loose as some other converters on the market.

     

    Here is light throttle:

    And here is goosing it a little bit:

    This was without the cam but... it has not really changed since i put it in.

     

    Hope this helps! Circle D makes some bad ass converters
