The perfect torque converter.. Let's say for example a car makes peak torque at 4000rpm.. What would be the ideal converter? A 3600?, a 4000?, or a 4400? Basicly should you get a converter that flash lil before, at, or a lil past peak torque???
I have heard that you want the converter to stall about 1500 from your shift point and drop 800-1000 rpms between the shifts. I am guessing that the converter manufacturers are trying to get the most avg horsepower in the range the converter is working through. I would love to know the science on how the converter manufacturers can get a car to stall 1500 from your shift point and keep the rpms from dropping too much or not enough.
