Converter question, technical.... If I have 3000 stall does that mean it will completely lock up at 3000, like an M6 would be?
If so, if I'm doing say 50mph in 2nd gear, well over 3000 rpm, will it be locked up? So when I hit it from that 50mph roll I'll be equal to a stick car going 50 along side me?
Thanks

Can I lock it up after a launch?
Whats up with a lock-up and non-lock up?
Which is the best for the street? 460 RWHP/TQ

Re: Converter question, technical.... At 50 mph you'll still be in 2nd so you do not want to lock-up at WOT.
If you need to lock-up because your converter is inefficent, top of 3rd gear is where you do it.
