Default ordered a 3800 stall with 2.2 str feels like stock

i have a full bolt-on h/c and a 3800 stall with a 2.2 str, did i get sent the wrong stall? because i can move just by removing my foot off the brake, and it drives just like my stock stall. im still on stock gears 2.73's

Try to footbrake stall it. You should at least get it over 2000 rpm before it breaks the rear tires loose. I have a 3500 stall and it drives like the stock converter unless I give it more than 3/4 throttle when I take off. Then it stalls to about 2000 rpm. The most I have gotten it to stall on slicks and the foot brake was 2500 rpm.

I have a 3200 vig, i have to get the rpms up to about 2,000 for normal acceleration, 1500 for slow (people ride my *** when I do that) acceleration, and 2500-3000 for faster than normal acceleration... I would imagine a 3800 being a little more loose than mine

I think that setup should be pretty loose and you'd feel the difference

It will move slightly, depends on the slant of the road. Let your foot off the brake on a slight hill and I'll bet she'll move backwards on ya.

It feels a little tighter and when i stomp on the gas in third it looks like it flashes to about 4800 - 5000 but on the trans brake it looks like it still went to 5300.
i'm going to the track tonight so i'll know for sure.

I would think you would be able to feel a stall like a 3500. I have rev' mine from 2200-2600 to keep up with traffic. If I let off the brake, on level ground, she will creep forward a bit. But with your 2.73s, I should think you may not move little to none at all... My stall doesn' t feel "stock" to me...

That's truly odd - the difference should be dramatic. I noticed a huge difference even with my small 3000/2.2.

i'll try the footbrake stall suggestion, when i drive my rpm's normally stay under 2k rpm's. im out of town so it'll be a couple days before i get to try it.
