Default How would a stock ls1 react with a pretty high stall?

I'm going to get my trans rebuilt here in a couple of weeks and I'd like to know how the car would react with a fairly high stall? It's a 99 bird with nothing but gears a tuner and a drop in.

good sized stall is one of the best first mods for an a4, definately the best seat of the pants feel mod at that level... not to mention necessary if you plan on running a decent sized cam!!!

I put a converter on mine before any real hp mods. It was a fantastic improvement.

Damn, I am running almost full bolt on and a 224 cam and a stock stall. If you say that a 32-3600 stall helps a stock engine I could only imagine.....OP good luck and get a cooler if you stall it

don't short yourself on the stall either, you'll regret it and will eventually want more. 3600-4000 and you'll hand down love it. i dd'd a 4000 for a while and gas mileage kind of sucked but man, when i hit it boy did it go.
