Everyone with TCS 4200s, please come in What kind of shift extension does everyone get? I am only getting around 5000, I think it should be more. The converter was stalled for a stock internal car, and since I have added a 224 cam, so it should be stalling even more then before, which would raise the shift extension I would think. Thanks!

Re: Everyone with TCS 4200s, please come in The shift extension of my TCS4200 is about 5700 RPM. My car is a C5 with H/C. Where are your cars shift points set at? If they are too low that could be part of the problem. My car shifts at 6500 RPM.

Re: Everyone with TCS 4200s, please come in My car shifts at 6500 also. 5000 is a good bit lower then what I was hoping. Some 3500 stalls get 4700-4800 on the shifts. I'm looking for 5500-5700. Thanks for your input Mitch. What is everyone else getting.
Re: Everyone with TCS 4200s, please come in depending upon what style 4200 you had built, I would expect either 5000 - 5200 or 5500 - 5700. Different STR combinations will result in varying drivabilty and shift extension.

Re: Everyone with TCS 4200s, please come in I ordered the stall and ran it for a while with stock internals. I ordered it from Mikey at Rapid. I specified for a 4200/2.7STR for a stock internal motor with best ET in mind. Oh well, as soon as I get the cash, it will be replaced by a new Yank anyway.

Re: Everyone with TCS 4200s, please come in You probably don't want to consider mine since it was clearly out of spec with stall around 5100-5200 but the shift extension was running about 5800-5900. Nothing quite as humorous as blowing through from 5900-6600 NA on converter that was supposed to hold up to a 200HP shot. :eek
