Default Power Loss through a stall anyone?

How much power do you loose through a stall? I have an A4 1994 Z28. I ran a 11.59 in the quarter with a stock stall spraying off the line. How much more can I gain off of a stall. What do you recommend on the stall. I make about 440-450 at the wheels on juice.

If you have the correct stall for your combo...(Nitrous in this case) you shouldn't loose any mile an hour....Pick up a few tenths, maybe more on the juice depending on your 60 foot now and your mile an hour...If your mile an hour is over 120 then you might gain 1/2 second on a good verter over what your seeing now.......

For a good size shot a PY 3600 would work great. Not so great off the juice though....For on the juice and NA type runs try a SS3600. It will hold a 150 to 200 shot easily depending on how much power your already making NA....

Do you race chassis dynos or a car on a dragstrip???? If the later just do the stall and go faster, it might show a loss on a chassis dyno but those are just tools and not the ultimate tool the inexpwerianced believe them to be.

I have a 1994 Z28 convertable. All stock engine with a tune , longtubes, stock stall, slipping trans, nitrous,4.10's spraying off the line. 11.59 banging out and pulling wheels. Should i go to a stall after my transmission is done being built? I want track #'s. How much do you think I will gain with an aftermarket?
