my mind isint made up really i just was told not to run a converter without just building my tranny also becuase when the tranny goes it will take the converter with it...but maybe ill just save and think i know it would be 11s with an ss4000

 

hey chrs1313 do u stall ur car as far as it will go, or do you leave from an idol or a certain rpm ?

 

I will go out on a limb and say 85% of the cars out there with an aftermarket converter have STOCK trans...try setting up a thread or poll, I bet you will be suprised...

best mod for an a4 is a stall...

as far as those brakes will hold it...

 

Yup my tranny is stock w/ just the pressures bumped up from a Hypertech tuner.

 

will a mail order tune from texas speed or someone be close enough with full bolt ons and a stall ? i think you changed my mind ill just save for a stall and a tune...

 

Completely agree........Hands down best mod I did to my car. Yeah I noticed with aftermarket cam, the car does not like at all to be stalled low or flashed from idle. I have to footbrake it high as it will hold. When I was stock internals the car loved to be flashed from idle....dunno prob has to do with the prower band with cam being moved up.

 

with a stall the only thing that needs to be tuned is the shift points...you can also take put the tq management too...

mail order should be fine set it at 6200-6300 and rev a few 100 higher...you will be golden...

 

yeah i have it set at that already with my handheld, i might just run the converter tuned with handheld until i can afford to take it to texas and get it dynotuned.....and so ur saying leave from idol with stock cam ? then launch different with aftermarket, i think im just gonna have to get it and try different launches..

 

and i also heard the 2000 camaros came with a weaker posi unit than other years so we will see how it holds up, only has 30,000 on it so it should be fine for awhile !

 

I leave @ 1000 rpm w/ my car seems to work the best if i bring it any higher for 60's go to the ****'s.

 

3600 stall on a stock tranny here. IMO it's probably the best et for the buck mod out there for an A4 car. Maybe it's because I'm running a smaller cam but the sweet spot for my 60fts is at 1500rpm. Best bet is to screw with the launch until you find what works.

I used to be dead set against a stall. I had the wrong idea about them all together, but from here on out it'll be one of the first mods I do.

 

i talked to dave at Yank, described my car and situation and he said my best bet being a stock internal full bolt on car is to run the PT4400, He told me with that stall and a full dynotune i could expect a second off my time. He also said when i get a cam and am throwing down some more power he will re-stall it to an SS4000 for free...i am very excited and he was a great guy to talk to ! really knows his stuff. Anyone have good expiriences with the PT4400 ?

 

I loved the PT4400 and had great success with it, but Chrs1313 had amazing success with the SS4000. Almost seems backwards to start with a PT then go to an SS. Maybe because you're going for a max effort setup?

 

either converter will work out nicely...

 

he said the SS4000 was more for a cam car or heads cam car puttin down alot more power than my car, he said the PT4400 would be perfect because im nto puttin down that much power and after i get a cam and am in the 400+ horsepower i will restall to the SS4000

 

I am also a ss3600 a4 guy. 11.84@113 w/ full bolt-ons and stock 60,000 mile tranny. 1.58 60ft mine does like to be stalled to about 2500rpms. Hands down the best mod for stock car. Also, don't forget about a good tranny cooler.

 

I swapped 2.73 to 3.73 and did SS3800 / tune and went from 8.58 to 7.82 in the 1/8th. gained almost 2 mph also.

 

To the OP a stall is the best bang for the buck in A4 cars..

I finally gave in and bought a Stall/LT's/ORY/342-373s got a rear out a 6 speed car for free./DR's/Frost.My best 1/8th right now is a 8.54 in the 1/8. Thats a good gain. I have 273s right now.

 

SS4000 and 100lb diet car went from 8.26 to 7.59. and 1.97 60ft. to 1.65. Love my SS4000 !!!!
