i have a circle d 300-3200 stall and i cant stall past 2000 without spinning the tires is this a stall problem or are the brakes not strong enough to hold it? i dont think its the stall because before the circle d i had a yank 2800 and it did the same thing

 

On my vig 3600 I can't stall it past 2200 without pushing through the brakes. I don't think that with your slightly lower stall speed that that's too unusual. Are you hooking when you launch from 2000?

 

yea its on 275 mickey tompsons it dead hooks only at the track though. i have friends with 3000 stalls that can stall to 3000

 

The 3000-3200 is a flash rating, not where it will foot break to. It should be flashing to ~3000 when you nail it. To get something that would foot-break to 3000, you would need a ~4000 stall converter. Hope this clears it up a little.

I think my 3200 is closer to a 4000 now. I can foot brake to 2800rpm.

 

thanks i guess i was just confused

 

yeah thats normal.

 

He is telling you right. Stall speed and footbrake stall speed are 2 different things.

 

The only way to get your car to stall your converter's stall speed sitting still is to have a transbrake.
