What exactly is a Stall Converter? I just recently bought a 98 Z28 A4 and I have heard a lot about stall converters. What exactly does a stall converter do? How would I go about installing one? My car is an everyday driver, does a stall converter make city driving a hassle? Is a stall converter harder on my tranny? Any other info about stall converters, a newbie like myself should know would be great. What is a good converter for a 400 hp setup? I am looking to upgrade with heads and a cam!
