Default How Much RWHP Will You Lose?

Like the title says how much rwhp will you lose through a Vig 3,200 converter or as in any converter in that matter? Also with the higher the stall is it the more hp you lose?

Thanks Dan

When I dyno'd my car, I put down 381 with the converter unlocked, and 392 locked. 11 hp difference.

That's with a TCI 3000.

11/392 = 2.8%

I believe that the STR has a bigger effect on the power loss than the stall speed. Somebody correct me if I am wrong........

Who cares if you technically lose power when you can take a half second off your time though?
