Stall converter question
okay i bought a 3800 stall converter and it doesn't brake stall to 3800 it brake stalls to 3k which is not what i wanted.
but it flashes to 3800 so my question is why when i ordered the converter and asked for it to stall to 3800 why doesn't it BRAKE STALL to 3800?
i called the company and they told me that when i am ordering a converter i am ordering the flash stall speed not the brake stall speed.
does that make sense?
also i am going to be changing gears and they told me that my stall speed will be lower if i do.

That's funny I would think that it brake stalls and flashes to the rpm of the stall I'm waiting on my car to come back from the shop with a built tranny and stall. I guess I'll have to do some testing

Yea thats what they told me that if i do put gears my stall speed will be lower.
if thats true then that sucks cause i just spent alot of money on thing. and it doesnt even brake stall to where i thought it would.

3800 does not mean it stalls to 3800 it means it flashes to 3800. With that converter (I have a 3600) you would launch at 1500 to 2000 and it would flash to 3800 and you would haul off the line..better get traction stuff and tires.

Okay i thought i read up on converters pretty good but i guess i didn't lol.
But is it true that if i do gears that it will lower my stall speed?
Also i plan on getting motive gears and i have a 2 series rear. and i heard some people say that i should upgrade to the 3 series is that true? Or will 2 series gears work fine.
One more question. How much of a difference will 3.73's make over the 2.73's i have now?
my car is a 95 z28 just to let you guys know.
thanks guys i am still learning about f-bods so any info will be much appreciated.

Hell, anything will be an improvement over those 2.73s, you'll pick up some nice gains for sure.
