My 02 SS is my daily driver and I was wondering if a stall converter would be a smart mod. I live in Indiana so I drive it in the snow and on ice. I installed Hooker headers a month ago and I have noticed a little difference while driving on ice. I tend to spin and fishtail a little more. Will a stall converter do the same if I drive slow? Would this be a stupid mod if I drive my car on ice?

A higher stall will make it feel more sluggish so you will spin less in snow. Im in indiana too. I try to never drive in the snow. Bought a 87 plymouth sundance its a junker. A high stall is a must have for an A4. If you come to the big city PM me for a ride so you can get a feel for one.

3200 here, drive it in the rain, keep your foot off it when the weather is bad and its just like a stock stall. It drives fine, takes a week to get used to. When I first got mine it was raining all that week and stuff so I didnt really rip on it. After you get on it once you'll love it.

Back in my MOPAR days, I owned a 1969 Dodge Super Bee, 383 stock with 3000 stall and 3.23 gears.
A 1970 'Cuda w/built 383 (360 hp) with a 3000 stall and 3.36 gears
and a 1972 340 Duster w/ 2800 stall and 3.23 gears.
All were very streetable, in fact, my daily drivers. Under normal driving, the converter was hardly noticeable, but nail it and look out! Built-in "hole-shot"!
