Questions about stall speeds and STR? What are the advantages and disadvantages of higher stall speeds? What about lower stall speeds? Ive been recommened lots of different type of converters, one in mind, a 3200. Ive also been recommended a 3800, what difference is it going to make from a 3200 to a 3800? Are there any drawbacks going from smaller to bigger or vise versa? I noticed that a lot of people are going from 3500/3600 to 3800, why is that? Ive never owned a sports car with an auto., so I dont know whats loose and whats tight. I want a converter thats going to do well at the track and still get me about 15mpg in the city if not more. I know of someone running a 3800 with a 3.73 gear, 200-R4 and is getting 13-14mpg in the city. I will be running a 3.42 gear, so Im assuming its going to help a little on gas mileage. The car will be driven on the road, but I plan to take it out to the track a couple of times out of the month. I really dont care if traction is going to be a problem on the street because Im not looking for best times on it, the track is where its most important. However, I will be doing some street racing, depending how it falls in place, it could be from a dig or a roll. Lots of people have been recommending me the 2.5 str because its good on and off the track. How big of a difference is it going to make going to a 2.6 or a 2.7? Do you think a 3800 is too much for a daily driver? Thanks
