Fuddle 3200/2.1, 3.23 gears, small cam. No problems with the converter in traffic.

I daily drive a vig 3600, I don't think it makes much difference...if anything it does slip a little more at RPM's, but that's it.

i think you need to ride in a stalled car....make your own conclusion...

youll find it uses more gas and will be louder...sooo the wife might not like that...

The higher stall speed will effect the lower gears because once the converter clutch has engaged the stall speed is 0 rpm when fully applied !!!!

Essentially what he's asking is how does a stalled car act from 0-20-0mph as compared to stock.

Not really, it will move when you give it gas but not as fast as a stock converter. You have to give more RPM's to get it moving and there is where the gas mileage goes to crap! Most stalls are streetable but again it depends on what size. If you slam it to the floor it becomes a very fun ride!! But if you are driving it daily then it will take some getting use too. I have a Vig 3200 and love it, but keeping up with all of the soccer Moms during the day gets quite costly on gas. Lots of fun though!!
