Ohhh, alright. What else, brakes, .....and?

Thanks,

Traction(tires) and suspension. There are a lot of factors, thats why brake stalling is not a very good way of determining what a converter stalls to. I have a vig 3800 and pretty good traction but can't get it to brake stall past 3000. It flashes to around 4000 though. Hope that helps.

 

Question for ya: I'm seriously considering the Vig 3800. Could you tell me your experience with this TC ? i.e mpg, street manners, noise, how does it feel w/o a shift kit ?

Thanks

 

When my car was new it lost ~4 rwhp when I installed a Yank TP-4400. It gained ~30 ftlbs of torque. It also lost 6 tenths in the quarter 12.67 to a 12.07

IMHO, a higher STR does make for a better street converter. It allows you to run a higher stall speed without it feeling as loose. Of course it does require more than just stomping the throttle when driving...

My SY-3500 with a 1.86 STR felt almost as loose as my TP-4400 with a 2.5 STR.

On the street with the SY-3500 I could almost mash wide open throttle and hook on Nitto's, with the TP-4400 I would easily blow the tires off. But when I wasn't trying to blow the tires off, the STR made the bigger stall as/or more drivable than the smaller converter.
