Default 4000 stall, no TCS, wet roads??

I dont have traction control and right now when i get out into the street i have problems spinning when its wet. I can pretty much forget darting out when the roads are busy.

Question is how much is this going to be worsened with the converter.

Better for low key driving speeds because you don't get that quick regular acceleraton feeling.....

If you stab the gas, its a different story......

wait till you lockup at 40, and tip in some gas, verter unlocks and flashes in the rain

that'll be a treat.

you should have more traction due to the converter slipping and putting down less torque, more gradually. this is assuming you're not trying to race in the rain, in which case you'd probably go off the road.
