Default my stall wont stall help

i have a circle d 300-3200 stall and i cant stall past 2000 without spinning the tires is this a stall problem or are the brakes not strong enough to hold it? i dont think its the stall because before the circle d i had a yank 2800 and it did the same thing

On my vig 3600 I can't stall it past 2200 without pushing through the brakes. I don't think that with your slightly lower stall speed that that's too unusual. Are you hooking when you launch from 2000?

The 3000-3200 is a flash rating, not where it will foot break to. It should be flashing to ~3000 when you nail it. To get something that would foot-break to 3000, you would need a ~4000 stall converter. Hope this clears it up a little.

I think my 3200 is closer to a 4000 now. I can foot brake to 2800rpm.

He is telling you right. Stall speed and footbrake stall speed are 2 different things.

The only way to get your car to stall your converter's stall speed sitting still is to have a transbrake.
