Rpm drop 1-2 shift 4l80
I'm in the middle of my 4L80 swap and I'm wondering what the rpm drop will be after the 1-2 shift.
Mods are in signature ~400-420 wheel hp LS1. I'm running a 245mm (9.5") converter which should stall about 3600-4000 rpm. I'm shifting at 6600 rpm. According to my estimation I should see roughly 4400-4500 rpm. What do you guys think? Also, what are you seeing after your shifts?

Yes I realize this. I was hoping you could tell me more specifics about how stall rating isn't the only factor on what determines shift recovery.
Or maybe some people could comment on prior experience with 3600-4000 stalls in a 4l80

Converter build can affect the shift recovery. Stator selection, internal clearances, and other factors can affect it.
You can have a similar stall speed but have a converter that pulls the engine down more above the stall speed.

Its much more than just the advertised stall speed which will determine the-post shift RPM. One factor is the elusive "STR". I'm barely a converter neophyte, but I would expect a high STR converter to have a lower RPM after a shift than a lower STR converter.

yea a friend of mine has a yank 4000 and it drops to 5400 on the 2-3 shift with a 6600 shift point, 4L60. IDK what the 1-2 is it can't get traction yet. I hope mine is close, I love that stall.
