Low stall speed slowing me down?
My car pulls like crazy from any roll, but as soon as it shifts into 3rd, it seems to fall flat on its ***. Not sure if its a tuning issue, or its the stall. The car has an F13 cam, but only a 3200 Vig. The conveter was put in a long time ago before the cam. It does need a new tune for sure, which is getting done very soon, but I'm not sure if I should pull the converter out and get it re-stalled to like 3800-4000. Also, I should mention the car is a DD right now as well. Thanks.

Regardless, I say go 4000.

Yeah, its not shifting into 4th. If I hit it from anywhere from 40-60, it downshifts, and then when it shifts into 3rd, around 80+mph i think, it seriously stops pulling as hard.

Haha, I know going to a 4k stall would help out, but since its my dd, I wonder how much worse my gas milage would be. I only get 20mpg on the highway and don't even want to think about city driving lol.

its weird you guys say that, ever since the stall it seems like when I hit 3rd instead of slacking it just has a snappy shift (built transmission) then keeps on rolling just as hard if not harder than 2nd gear all the way to 120 before it starts to run out of steam some but still pulls good to at least 130
before the stall it fell on its face but I discovered when the transmission was apart a 3rd gear fluid passage was partially blocked so that's why it always felt like ****

Yea, get a bigger converter... and then give me your old one
Really, sounds like the bigger converter will help ya some man. I am debating on which one I am gonna get later, 3800ish or go strait for 4k for the 02. Sounds like your dropping out of the power band when it shifts. Didnt tyler also change his to higher for this reason as well as he was blowing through it with the NOS?
