Stalled A4's come in plz.....
 

Trying to see what rpm range you stalled guys are in for highway cruising....lets use 70mph as the baseline. Please list maker and stall info...thx

at 70 your tq converter will be locked and it wont matter, it will be all about gears and tire size then.

^ hes right. My ss3600 locks up at 36-40mph. Ater lockup its the same as stock.

Rear gears change your cruising rpms, lock up stalls do not. Pointless thread.

About 2100 rpm with 3.23's :D. It's all the same after 40mph or so when the converter locks in it spins right along with everything else

3k at 70 with 3.73s in OD.

theres 900rpm difference between 3.23's and 3.73's?

And that can vary with the tire size, like stated above.

Would a bigger size rim make the rpms higher or lower?

70mph,standard tire diameter
2.73=1750
3.08=1975
3.23=2067
3.42=2200
3.73=2400
3.90=2500
4.10=2633
4.30=2767
4.56=2933

OEM tach and speedo can't be relied upon for accuracy.
GPS will indicate true/actual MPH
Unit such as ScanGaugeII will indicate true/actual RPM

According to that graph your way off. R you sure your o/d didn't go out lol

I'm at about 2800rpms at 70mph. 4.10's on 275/40/17's, not sure how accurate my tach is though.

My OEM tach indicates about 150rpm higher than my ScanGaugeII indicates.

That's not right. I have 3.73's and the rpm's are at 2330 rpms cruising at 70 mph on my scan tool.

ill have to pay closer attention but its somewhere near 3k.

Are your rear tires super small or something?

Fixed

Taller tires would make the overall gear ratio less (numerically speaking) thus requiring less rpm to turn so in fact if he was turning 3k at 70 his tires would be much smaller than stock if they were larger than stock he would be turning less rpm than everyone else with stock tires and 3.73's

Ah tthanks for the info

lol WTF was i looking at? i just went for a ride. im at 2400 at 70. it doesnt get anywhere near 3k till about 85. :emb:

I'm around 2100rpms with the Yank SS3600, 3.23's @ 70MPH
