things NOT to do with a TC...? We all know the things to do with a TC which is stomp on the gas and hold on, but i would like to know what not to do with a TC? such as flooring it around a turn, try to avoid wheel hop. anything else.....is it ok to floor it at a light or should i take up the rpm's a lil bit first?
thanks J
thanks J

flooring it at a stoplight? it just depends on how well you hook. if you dont hook well bring it up to ~2000rpm and roll into it. if traction is not an issue, you can just stomp it and hold on. and definately no stompage around turns unless you'd like a closer look at the telephone poles.

don't run it unlocked....it can overheat, and cause the tranny to overheat.....make sure it locks up....if u want to unlock ur converter just tap the brakes and it'll unlock then floor it.
Don't stall it up and sit there on the brakes.....same thing.....causing a lot of friction heat.
And yes if you have traction issues Stall it up to 2000-2400 rpms....It won't hit near as hard and you'll have traction. move those rpms down if you only have a 2800 by about 500rpms.
The guys have said the rest.
