Default You know what, I have no clue what a converter does/feels like?

I know basically where they go on the car, but I really don't understand what they do. Or for that matter, what having a higher stall does. What does it feel like to have a converter...what do you have to do to get it moving and what do you do to "stall" it? I honestly did a search and didn't find anything on this! Damn, I come up with some good questions when I'm drinkin'!

it feels like warm apple pie <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

it feels like your car has just grown some huge ***** and will lay rubber all the time. kinda hard to explain it.

I was the same way before I had my 3500 and gears put in my C5.Was the best thing we've done to the car so far!!!!!The thing I was worried aboutwas that the car wasn't going to move until 3500,not so!!!You can tell the difference ,but it is not a bad thing.Once you mash the gas down for the first time you'll wonder why you didn't do it a long time ago.One of the best mods you can do to an A4!!!!
