Default How to determine stall of torque converter?

Bought a used 2000 Camaro. Was told the car has a stall converter(PINK IN COLOR) but the previous owner did not what size.
Flashes to about 4000rpm WOT.

My guess is the converter is a vig 3600? Any guesses? Any way to determine stall speed without a transbrake?

I don't really know but your guess sounds good

The best way is with a trans-break, flip the switch and floor it. But since you don't have a trans-break you can use the flash RPM. If it is flashing to 4000, then it is a 4000 stall in your setup. Converters stall will change based on input power. Hope this helps.

Since Vigs tend to be a little loose as most say, it very possibly could be a 3600.
