Congrats! I always try to tell people that a torque converter should be one of the 1st mods that you do to an A4. I went from 13.5 @ 103 to 12.5 @ 106. Very nice mph you have there...111!!!! What was your 60'?

i was going to do a stall in my lt1 ta but shes going up forsale and im getting a low miles ls1 ta soon. does a stall really have any affect on wear and tear of drivetrain? and is there any huge differnace from like 3000-3200-3500 stalls? or is like 3200 perfect for almost anything for a daily driver with like heads/cam and all suporting bolt ons

I'd say 3500 for a daily with bolt ons would be good. You'll love the LS1!

i woudl have went with a 3500 stall but i got a really good deal on a 3200, i would recommend a 3500 stall, unless you can get a good deal like me on a 3200 stall!!! theyre both driveable for a daily driver

Most stalls seem to be daily drivable, as long as you stay off the go go pedal

Hell I use to daily drive my non lockup 4k stall a few times a week

I've got a 2000 C5 with heads, cam, LS6 intake and injectors, longtube headers, high flow cats, X-pipe, GHL Bullet (straight-through) catback exhaust, Blackwing, WCC powerbridge and coupler, screenless MAF, transmission cooler and a full dynotune. I just had a Yank SS3200 torque converter installed. What a converter! Drives beautifully at partial throttle, but when you jump on it, ! I highly recommend this converter.
