Well im thinking about my next mod being a torque converter but ive got a couple questions. Newbie questions basically since i havent done very much research or know much about transmissions.

1. What size stall should i go with? Ive considered the 3600 but i see alot of guys going with the 4000 lately.

2. Is there a specific size stall that helps the car do alot better from a roll? Basically, does the 3600 do better on a roll then the 4000 or is it the other way around is what im asking?

3. Will my transmission go out with a new stall? My cars at 125k miles and going, im worried about installing a new torque converter and the tranny go outs on me.

4. Is there anything else i should know or have in mind, if i do go after a new torque converter??

 

yeah i wouldnt go with anything less than a 3600 and a trans cooler. Oh and i hope you have some tires lol.

 

We can answer all of your questions if you like just call me at 775 826 9955 Dave

The PT4000 is you best converter from a roll and is a proven choice!

 

Ive got Goodyear Eagle F1 Gs/D3's in the rear at the moment, still with some good tread left. They hook decently, and ive got a new set of wheels that i still need tires for. So im not to worried all that much, new tires are needed lol

 

haha I can't hook nitto drag radials since I put the stall in...unless they are REALLY warm

 

there is a lot to picking a stall for a particular combination. give me a call and maybe I can help answer some questions. 1-866-726-8358

I had those tires before i put my stall in (just a VIG3000ish) 1st time at the track...

IMO @ 125k you might want to look into a rebuild tranny. Got mine @ FLT (sponsor on this site) and it works beautifully now w/ a set of BFG DRs

I'd say at the very least get a tranny cooler. B&M works well. & if your not going to run DRs get used to driving it out of the hole on a bit of a slant

ALSO idk what mods you have but that will usually dictate what stall to go with as you want the stall to put you into your powerband. + if your on a stock 10bolt I wouldn't go too high. Thats the reason i went with the 3000, and prly the reason my rear is still located under my car and not back at the start line

 

These are the 2 main reasons why ive held off on a stall & drag radials for awhile now.

There's a guy locally who says he can build a transmission capable of holding up to 600hp. I may look into that and see what he can do and what price he will charge. Otherwise i was considering putting a Performabuilt Lvl 2 Trans on layaway.

 

Have herd good stuff from Performabuilt.

FLT did a great job on mine so either way you'd be good to go

 

Yea I just did a 3600 and I really like it. You get used to it pretty fast. Not sure I would do 4000 though since it's my DD

 

Definitely get the tranny built

 

If you go with a 3600 or 4000 stall you will need pcm tuning or the tranmission will not respond properly
