Default Vig. stall problem

My car has a 3200 Vigilante stall but will only stall to 2200.Even with good brakes.I talked to a guy the other day that said I needed to send it back to Vigilante and get them to loosen it for me.Does this sound right.Any help will be appreciated since Idont know **** about stalls.

Their rated by flash stall...
And yes, I only see about that before my brakes can't hold any longer. However mine flashes to 4500rpm NA and 5000 on small shot...

I think vig usually includes a free restall inside 2 years from date of purchase, call them and talk it over.

yea you cant footbrake it...the true flash stall is advertised. u will still launch at 3200 if the stall is right.

From P.I

Frequently Asked Questions:
(pick from the list)

HOW CAN I DETERMINE THE STALL SPEED OF MY CONVERTER?
Stall speed is very difficult to determine unless your car is equipped with a Transbrake to lock your drive train. Testing stall speed by holding the wheel brakes and running the engine against the locked brakes will usually result in wheel rotation before true stall speed is reached. The engine simply overpowers the ability of the brakes to hold the car. When rotation starts you are no longer at stall. For this reason people talk about brake stall which is not a true stall at all. An alternative method of measurement is to launch at wide open throttle and observe engine RPM reached at launch. This is flash stall.
