Default Big Stall 4000+ Plus guys i have a question

Got my TCS 4400 Stall converter in and just got one question
It seems at lower speeds that i pull more rpms then i use to with the stock one, IS this rite or is my trans on the way out.

my 4200 stall converter runs more rpms at slower speeds until the converter locks up, then I run the same rpms as stock.

It should, thats what people mean by the looseness or tightness of a converter.

What you are experiencing is normal. Its physically impossible to have a stall that turns the same rpm's at part throttle then flash to 4000+ at WOT. Its perfectly normal and you'll get use to it in no time.

Well it makes sure your rear is centered after lowering the car if your gonna do that, so thats why I did it.

you did a good thing by going with that big converter....most people regret not going big enough. good luck hooking up off the line!
