ok i read alot about A4's with a "High Stall Torque Converter"...how does it work and what would be the best for me to use as a Daily driver......with very similar drivability...(whats the stock stall on an 02 WS6...and how would i kno the difference also)

 

maybe a 2800-3500 stall for you...check out Yanks site and see what is available and maybe give Mike a call, he can set you up.

 

Tbyrne currently has a GP going on til this Wed the 4th. Call Tom and see what he recommends. I'm going with the SY 3500 on my daily driver.

 

texas speed and performance= TCI SSF 3500 $479 -- SF3000 $429.

you cant beat that SSF, its a good daily driver convertor, i read a lot about it before i ordered it today. And at the price texas speed and performance is selling them, Its almost a 100 bucks cheaper than the nearest competitor

 

anybody else....as much information as possible can help....thank you

 

What Differences do you feel and notice with a higher stall torque converter.....does anyone know what the stock converter stalls at?

 

is it different with the WS.6 Package......bcuz thats what i got...3.23 rear axle final gear ratio and all

 

About 1500~1600 is a stock stall. No i have never heard that you get a different stall in a WS6. I guess anything is possible if you spend enough money... but they are all the same as far as i know.
Are you looking to kick *** at the track? some street racing on DR's... or on slicks.. or on regular tires.

Do you mind a loose verter for max performance, tight one that pulls like mad up top for racing from a roll or a tire frying verter that will give you killer launches?

Let us know more info... then we can do more to help you.

 

i wanna launch REAL good.......but i dont kno what tirs to use also for the daily driver.....i was thinking on my new rims.....i want to get......Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's.....and for the stock rims i was gonna put.....NItto 555R DR's or some1 recommended ET Streets.....just a good launch similar performance but a lil more.....kick to it...everything as close to the way it is possible i guess like the top speed.....or whatever i reallly dont know what these do but i heard they the best mod for a A4

 

just get the TCI SSF 3500 from texas speed and performance like i did, its the best mostly street but some strip convertor for the money.

 

how are Vigilante 2800's and Vig 3200's?

 

How do you like yours? Is it hard to drive in parking lots and at speeds under 30? Looking to get cam real soon and am thinking of going with the tci ssf 3500 too. If i'm ever around e-town i'll have to look you up and see how that thing does if you wouldn't mind.

 

sure, as long keep the **** talking to a minimum, you more than welcome to come on by, in fact we are having our statewide meeting this saterday in E town, you should comeon over and meet every one.

 

you gotta drive one to understand truly what loose means. Also tuning is big time important. When mine was tuned to not lockup at 1000rpm'ish (35/40-45) in 3/4 it sucked gas like no tomorrow in city.

I must re-evaluate my street wheels now. The 245 nitto's appear too weak at 27psi HOT, checking out those 315 rims now.

with boltons/cam/tci-ssf3500 (see my dyno) you will blast the **** out of 245-50-16 nitto's at wot under 30mph, so i'd say DR is the minimum to safely drive on in dry conditions.

Really does take some good tuning as well with cam and trans shift tweaks, but it will feel like a muscle car not at all like what stock was..

Some days i wish i had stock back

 

Where in E town is this place? I'm not very fimliar with the city at all, and if i decided to come i'd have to take bluegrass parkway, like i was coming from lexington. I'll have to see if i can make it though, they're giving snow for tomarrow and as you know Ls1s don't go in the snow very, well so i might have to look you up next weekend or somethin. If you ever come around Danville or Harrodsburg PM me and i'll try to meet you somewhere.

 

underrated....excellent converters but my 3200 is actually a 3800.

i drive on the Vig almost everyday and in multiple stock motor cars, its been known to be good for low 1.6 60 foots on drag radials...i haven't been to the track with the new converter yet, but it feels damn strong.


"loose" basically means the car feels like the tranny is slipping horribly anywhere under the stall speed....for instance, with my 3800 or so converter, i see about 2700 rpms at shift points during normal driving (keeping up with traffic)...above stall speed though, the car runs like a raped ape. ....you become desensitzed to it aftrer a few days of driving...at first, u probably wont like it....then youll hammer the gas and go sideways down the street at 50mph and you should be hooked


also on more note....LS1 stock converters stall at around 1800-1900 rpm. LT1 'verters are 1600.

 

You probably won't like it at first, but when you get use to it you'll love it. I would get a stall around 3500-3800. If you go to small you'll end up wishing you had a bigger one. The yank SS3600 has a higher str causing it to hit harder and also feel tighter. The vig 3200 would also be good. I've also heard good things about the tci ssf3500. The higher the str the harder it'll hit, but their usually slightly less efficient than a lower str. A lower str will have a softer launch and also make the same converter feel looser. You'll for sure want a pair of nitto's.

 

Since you live near me you are welcomed to drive my car (as soon as the snow melts ). I have a 4400 stall, but it will give you an idea of what to expect and you will definatly know what is ment by loose .

For your car I would agree a TCI3500 would be the best bang for the buck.
