My appologies .. I should proof read before I post. I understand the TC for torque converter ... I think I was looking for STR (not STS) ... it has to do wtith a toque converter though ... associated with the stall I think.

STR is Stall Torque Ratio.
This explains it, from Yank's site: http://www.converter.cc/tech.htm
The stall torque ratio is the amount of engine torque that the torque converter can multiply at a particular rpm level. By definition, stall torque ratio is when the turbine is at 0 RPMs and the converter is at maximum designed stall. This will produce a positive push on the turbine to increase the torque to the input shaft of the transmission, multiplied by the designed stall torque ratio of the torque converter. For example, a stall torque ratio of 2.0 would multiply 200 lb. ft. of engine torque to 400 lb. ft. of torque at the transmission input-shaft.
http://www.700r4l60e.com/torque_ratio.html also has some stuff about it.
