Im trying to find this answer out aswell.

 

Do the pumps have any relevance? What do they mean? pump#0,6,7, etc.

 

The pump number is how loose or how much stall the converter will have. They however, do not go in order.

 

my vig3600 has the lucky #7 pump <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

 

My Vig3200 has the #6 pump and the Vig2800 has the #0 pump.

At the end of the track you say "man I'm a lucky guy."

 

So will my VIG3600 have pump #7?

I was thinking it was that, but some unintelligent person was arguing with me that they don't mean that.

If you ordered a 279715 then yes it will be a #7 pump. If you take a #7 pump converter and put it behind a 400" stroker motor then it no longer a 3600, it's going to be more like a 4000. To have a true 3600 stall you would go with a #6 pump in that case. Gear ratio also plays a big role in converter stall as well. You get my drift? But yes most likely your converter will be a #7 pump.

The higher the gear ratio, the lower the torque required to break the rear wheels loose. Therefore at launch you can not load the converter as high with 4.10s as you can with 2.73s. However, the moment you release the brake and simultaneously mash the gas, the converter will jump to its true stall speed (for that motor) no matter what gears you have. With 4.10 gears, you'll stay at the true stall speed a shorter period of time as the converter output shaft catches up faster than if you had 2.73s.

True stall can really only be achieved with a transbrake. Once you release the brake and go WOT then you are at flash stall, not true stall any longer. Gear ratio plays a big role in the flash stall of the converter. A car with 3.23 will have a higher flash stall then a car with 4.10s. Flash stall is the really what you are seeing on the track not true stall.

So I think what I'm saying is that we are both right. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

So which pump is loose and which pump is tight? And do you ask for which pump when you order a Vig?
