stall converter ive read all the posts on the converters and all i've heard is they take more pedal to make it move faster... so i was wondering what is the point of them like what exactly does a 3800 stall do, what is the point of buying them. As you can tell im pretty new to the whole thing i just got my t/a about a month ago. By the way it's a 95 LT1 vert
This might help:

Another little mentioned advantage when going to a stall converter from the LT1's 298mm converter is that the parobolic curve on the pump is far steeper allowing better fluid movement in the new converter. It really helps an LT1's drivetrain get out of its own way.

The point is that you make a lot more power at 3800 rpm, so when you punch it you'll be hauling ***** instead of waiting to reach the powerband. You won't be pulling 1.5-1.6 60's NA with the stock converter either.

im not going off im just stating my opinion becuase im the one who started the thread so therefore im just trying to tell people that you can either be a nice person and help or just don't say anything at all, because I for one don't know much about cars yet and i know a lot of people on here do so i'm asking for their help
I wish I was a moderator here too, because I wouldn't hesitate to give 95lt1ta a little break right now for acting like such a condescending *******.
If someone makes a thread and the one of the first responses is "try searching for it", it's not because we're trying to be smartasses. It's simply because there's plenty of information out there already and the question has been asked numerous times. Besides, no one was "going off" except you. You say you don't know much about cars, but the rest of us here do. Does that mean you have the right to march in and start telling everyone to "shut the f*** up" like you did? HA, I don't think so.
If you want help from anyone, you'd damn well better act mature enough to earn it. Better learn that quick or you won't get anywhere in life. No one will be helping or teaching you anything with that attitude of yours.

There are some great explanations at the web sites of the manufacturers of converters on the right like Yank, TCI and Fuddle. Read the FAQs and come back here if you still need more answers.

Let a mod/admin know if your search button honestly doesn't work. You cannot survive in this forum without the serach button. Well, maybe you can, but it would suck.
I'm closing this. Patrick has provided a useful answer and the rest of this is BS.
