Default stall question

Will a stall make the car pull harder from a roll?

With a very efficient converter with a low STR, you will even pick up rwhp vs. the stocker. So the benefit is two-fold. Your dyno chart will read higher in every gear, plus, you'll drop less rpm between shifts, keeping the engine at a higher torque point.

A very huge converter can still slow you from a roll, but still drop ET, since you'll be off the line much quicker.

yes it will tend to feel slower after you have gotten used to the stall

But will the car actually be slower? Or do you think the stall was too big for a stock motor? I know the car will not run as low an ET. MPH wise though hows it gonna do? Around the same as before??....I dont beat on my car from a stop much..Dont wanna **** up my rear end ha
