Help ASAP Could Nos damage a stall? Could nos damage the vig 3600 stall? Im thinking about getting this stall, but I just found out that the stall was used in conjuction w/ nos. My dad (We all know how some dads are) said that when used w/ nos will brake valves or something in the stall.
Is this true or not? I did found out that the guy im getting the stall from he said he has gone threw a transmission. But thats cause he was useing a 150 shot of nos also, and didnt beef up the trany.
My Q, am I safe to purchase the stall or not?

Joe</strong><hr></blockquote>Well it depends on how much he is talking about for his stall."My paa always said never to buy a used stall" unless of course you know the guy or plan on getting it reworked.

Re: Help ASAP Could Nos damage a stall? Without "anti ballooning" plates, N2O use could hurt the converter.
The new Vigs. do have Anti-Ballooning plates, so I'd imagine it would be fine.
Plus, ask the seller if it still has it's free upgrade. If so, you could have it "refreshed" for free.

Re: Help ASAP Could Nos damage a stall? Let me start by saying that I know guys who sprayed vigs with zero problems. However, I would be less likely to consider a PI converter that had been run in a car with spray. I don't know the PI converters as well as Yank, but I doubt the high performance multidisk converters use the same materials as the vig series.
NOS is much more likely to have worn the stock tranny which then can release junk into the converter. Flushing the converter will not get out junk imbedded in the clutches.
If you have the converter "refreshed" that's ok. Don't confuse it with restalling. PI is not under any obligation to put new clutches in, or make repairs to converters being restalled. From what I've seen and heard, a restalling does not include the use of new parts.
Buying from a bolt-on NA car is much safer. NOS and/or the use of a lock-up switch increase the probability of problems, although the converter may be just fine. There are enough non-spray PI units that come on the market that I would wait.

Re: Help ASAP Could Nos damage a stall? I know of BBC cars running Prescion Industries converters that put out well over 1000ft lbs of torque. And the same materials they use in those converters are the same ones they use in the 4L60E converters. I would get the converter flushed though at your local tranny shop, it only cost around 50 bucks or so.

Re: Help ASAP Could Nos damage a stall? ok...the converter does still have a free stall left....also the converter was just opened up and checked by a transmission shop here locally...(Jason's converter guy whom you all know)
I've never had problems with the converter...it still is good.
Reason why I broke the trasmission is because I was running 150 shot on the tranny and launching out of the hole at the track putting 1.53 60' and running 11.20@121...it is a stock tranny....
