what is the biggest stall that would be safe to run on a DD without tune?

 

stock

 

check out the Circle D 3000-3200 278mm torque converter

 

ive seen tons of ppl running a stall on stock tune.

as for circle d, my tranny is screwed basicly, grinds and stuff, im going to order a performa tranny and i was just wondering what stall would be good for stock tune.

 

Our 278mm is a nice stall for a DD. They don't typically need a tune....G/L

Chris I sent you an email back but havent gotten a response??

 

so anything 3200 and under would be fine?

 

I never changed anything going from stock stall to Yank SS3600 other than deleting the solenoid codes because in rare cases on large low speed hills it would go into safe mode.

 

anything 3400 and under should drive pretty tight as as close to stock as your gonna get and perform good.

 

also i currently have 273 gears, has anyone ever ran a stall with those?

 

Yes many have, but your stall will feel more loose with those gears

 

what do you meen loose exactly? haha

 

A stall is nothing more than slippage vs. resistance. For example a 3000 stall with 3.23s' and changing the gears to 2.73s',that 3000 stall would feel like a 3500 stall,changing the gears to 3.73s',that 3000 stall would feel like a 2500 stall.
When I changed my stall from OEM 1800 to TCI 2800(OEM 3.23s'),it felt 'loose' but didn't take long to get used to. When I changed my OEM 3.23s' to 4.56s' that 2800 stall felt/feels as tight as the OEM 1800.

 

Whats the big deal about getting a tune? Your gonna want one anyway. Go no smaller than 3600.

 

3600 and call it good, thats what im doing i just need "senicalj4579" tranny cooler first lol.

 

What he said^^^

 

I agree with 3600.. I got a 3200 but now wish I would have went bigger!!

 

the fact that im about to drop over 2 grand in a tranny kinda puts a hold on a tune for a while...

one more question too, ABOUT what rpm would it stall up to just pulling out on those 2.73's if i were to buy a 3500ish stall?

 

I pmed you back! lol

 

IDK about the 2.73s but it all depends on how much throttle you give it, You will see its not like some say. If I would have known my ss3600 was gonna be like this I would have went ss4000, pt4000 or somthing like those.

You should be fine untill you get a tune if you just take it easy untill then. You need to do a break in with the converter anyway. Well at least my yank had a 150 miles break in. After I broke mine in I tore **** up even a few weeks before my tune. It wasnt bouncing off the rev limiter or anything and made sure the fluid was correct.
