I don't know muc ha bout torque converters but heres my question if you get say a 3600 stall that means that the car won't move untill you get the rpm to 3600. What is a good stall for a daily driver, but i want to have a decent quater mile time.

it will move before it gets to its stall speed.
anything between 3000-3500 is good for a daily driver.
personally i have a tci streetfighter 3000

If you mash the pedal it will flash to 3600 assuming your motor is relatively stock.. And kick you in the ***.. THe SS3600 in my wifes car will just barley creep the car along at idle, and if there is a slight grade the car will not move at all.. But at light throttle it will really start to get up and move the car around 800-900 rpms..

i've a 3600 stall.
the car does move below 3600

hell, the car's basically a daily driver.. and during my daily driving i rarely go to even 3000 rpms.

Yea my friend with an 02 ss that is a manual was telling me that if i got a stall then the car would only move if the rpm's are above whatever the torque converter is set at. Thanks for the input keep it coming

Your friend doesn't know what he is talking about. A car with a 3600 stall will start to move WAY before you get to 3600 RPM. My car has a 4200 stall and it creeps foward and backward at idle speed.

Get a stall and some sticky tires and you will hang with him in the 1/4 mi, but don't try him on the highway
