Since I am replacing my Tranny, I was thinking of moving up on the stall.

Much of a difference? Still decent on the street?

If you got it new you get one free restall. Anytime you go bigger it will help the SE. If its at or below 4400 i think it would be good for the street. Im starting to wish i went with a TCI4200

"se" ??

quickWS6

"SE" means shift extension. How far your RPMs drop after each shift.

Duh!? That is what I was wanting.

I just want to make sure it will be fine on the street. Its still my DD.

ive got a 3200 vig (well PI calls it a 3200)....its actually a 3800 stall.. but its still very streetable..

I thought the Vig 3200 stalled to about 3600?

DeepBlueZ

mine is definitely higher.... i switched from a 3400 TCS (true 3400) and this thing is definitely more than 200 rpm looser. somebody once mentioned the 3800 stall speed being somewhere on the PI website too.

3800 seems a bit high for the street. What are your RPM's when you normaly accelerate? Mine is around 2000.

I ran the 3200 for a year and it was good around town. I think it would be around 400 rpm looser than what you have now.

...in reality it is about 600. Vig 3200 is realy a 3800 stall. Unless you got one that is different than most everybody else's.

No biggie if you did, but most folks stall a bit higher...

Good converter just not very efficient on the top end and mid range.

Thanks. I really want a bit more mid range. Was thinking of lowering the STR to 2.0.

I figured that the vig 2800 he has now was probly looser that 2800 also maby in the 3200-3400 range. so the increase wouldnt be that big. To be honest when i had my vig 3200 I was going off my factory tach and that might be a couple hundred rpms off

I actually think it would be about a 400 rpm difference.

I am happy with the Vig 2800 on the street. But want a bit more at the track and midrange. Tired of trying to keep up with M6's on a roll.

DeepBlueZ

thats gonna be tough.....from a 40 roll i was absolutely dead even with a 2002 Z28 M6 with a lid/catback and good driver....yet at the strip i would destroy his car....A4s are just not good for racing from a roll no matter how u slice it....

quickWS6

They are with a decent sized stall.

Raughammer

...probably, probably.

They are notorious for their, well, how shall we say it, "irregularity"?


The stock tach stink. but they are better than nothing, ...barely.


Good luck amigo!

DeepBlueZ

o no their definitely better with a stall, i used to get walked from a roll by stick cars, now im right with them....its just the lack of a solid connection between the motor and drivetrain really kills us on the top end...theres always a manual lockup switch but ya cant use it until almost 6000 rpm or it lugs the motor.....

Yea, I noticed with my stock LT1 car, when you rip on it on froma roll it jumps to the mid 3K range.
