stall converter questions
I've read that running 2.73s with a stall can be harder on your trans since it requires more out of the car to get it rolling, takes longer to get through the gears and has to rev longer. You may want to consider a tranny cooler, a new flexplate, and a tune as well. It starts to add up, but you gotta do it right.
id still go with at least 3.23s.
Well, the reason im doing an at least 3500 stall converter is so i can keep my 2.73's...
Correct me if im wrong, with that stall, the car should pick up pretty well from any speed.
Nice heads up on a tranny cooler.

I'm interested in this too. It makes sense. Not that I have 2.73 anyways.
It is true the higher ratio of the 2.73's causes the motor to "slip" the converter a little more and thus creates more heat... It's not really a big deal as long as you have a good trans cooler.
Update: Since im bone stock, I Just bought me a used vigilante 3400 stall converter from a member on here. Been told that tune isnt required, although i will order me a tranny cooler.
