Yeah against equal powered M6's I can smoke them, due to being in a better spot in the powerband at all times than the manual. Not to mention shift time.

"UMI LCA's-SFC's-PHB-TA"

Thats why

My car hooks like a bastard on Nittos on the street. Granted any kickdown into 1st gear usually ends up in lighting them up. Although it's very controllable and if you dip in right she'll take off.

People who say they can blast through the 1st 2 or 3 gears lighting them up on generally stock car or even cars making 400 or so hp are either running too much gear, **** tires,have stock rear suspension, or a combination of.

If you can't get traction that defeats the purpose of the stall. So you must be doing something right.

A4s will always be terrible from a roll. the 2-3 shift is pretty much where the car falls out of its powerband, and were a bone stock M6 can get the upperhand or at least gain back some ground on a bolt-ons A4, even with a 3600 stall. I was hoping other people have done it already, but I'm drafting plans for a 6L80E swap (Heavy Duty A6 from vettes and large SUVs) for when my 4L60E kicks the bucket (and it eventually will, I hope just not before I've finished drafting the 6L80E plans lol)

I am glad I do not have that problem.

My A3 2600rpm stall with 2.75 gears is bad *** from a roll, just pulled a 550 AWHP Evo on the highway the other night, we both had traction issues from 45mph

I'd even go so far as to say my A3 setup is faster from a roll than my m6 setup was.

Something just doesn't sound right. With a torque arm, lca's, phb, 17" ET radials I still spin on the street and run consistent mid/late 1.6's at the track (3700lb raceweight). I dynoed 343.9 rwhp unlocked with a trans that needed break in (now broken, lol). I'm just waiting for my full weight, cam only 11's on a better pass and mid 11's once the heads and better tune are finished.

From before to after the install, I think you would see that it helps more at the roll compared to stop due to tractive issues.

Due to the low stall of the stock converter you are going to see tremendous gains with just about any aftermarket converter. Think about how low you see coupling speed in 1st with a stock converter.

These are basically factory 12 second cars, held back by a terribly mismatched torque converter. I can't believe they put that thing in there.

EPA fuel economy and keeps down noise (due to revs). People also like to feel instant throttle response not a mushy accelerator. Those who know better up the stall speed

It would of been nice if for SLP cars SLP did offer their converter (i think it was a Yank with a 2600 stall speed, smallest one they made) as an option covered under warranty.
