Thought we would go out and get some footage of a few local cars.

I was kidding about your car btw

 

3600 sounds alittle harsh for street car? i have never owned a car with a stall so i dont know..... someone let me ride in there car with a stall so i can see..... my car from a stop will light the tires up if i stomp it.. seems like a stall would just let it break em loose easier since the power is right up on tap?.... i just notice driving the car around town hell i dont get over 2200 just creepin round town when i take off the car shifts out about there...

will a stall converter quit pulling once its below those rpms? cause i can run 65 at 1400rpms all day on hwy....

 

I have a 3200 stall in my car and love it. Some say a 3400-3600 would be better but I feel the 3200 was perfect for a street, dd, fun toy car. I am fixing to swap it out for a different brand I think.

 

lee i'm pulling the trans in a week or so and putting a 3500 in mine so ill take you for a ride i have never been in one with this big of a stall so we will see how it does

 

It is not harsh at all.. I DD my last car with a 4400 in it and I DD this car with a 4000 in it. Both H/C intake blah blah blah.. The last one wasn't for everything.. This one is as street friendly as a stock car.

You will have to give it more Rpms to get the tires to spin.. Example.. With a 3600 converter you will be around 4000 Rpms during a burn out, although it is much easier to get there than with a stock converter you won't smoke the tires unless you want to.

A 3600 does not mean that you always are at 3600 rpms.. With a good converter you will pick up around 2000 Rpms normal driving and when you kick it then it will "flash" to 3600 (little more little less)..

The difference between a 4000 and a 3500 driving around town are minimal to non existent. Meaning a 4000 will pick up at say 150 Rpms more than a 3500..

Here is a vid to show you how a converter works.. Keep in mind this is a 4400 (some think it was even looser ).. I am giving it quite a bit of gas from the get go, I usually picked up around town at 2400 Rpms or so..
Notice from the time I kick it to the time I let out it is ALWAYS in its power band.. In never drops below 5500 after a shift and never saw under 4800 from a stop.

Hope that helps a little bit.. If you meet me in huntsville I will give you a ride in my car.. This one has a 4000 and is very street friendly.. Baby 226 cam ls6 intake 317 heads 373 gears.. I promise your next mod will be a converter! It is the number one mod for an A4.

thats awesome man i hope to see some of these rides soon.... i think some *** time in one or two will be a blessing.... and my car suffers badly from the 2-3rd shift it drops sooo many rr's that it losses momentum...

the car in the vid is it also running 3.73?

 

Always note that when you add gear, the converter gets tighter.....

lemons explained it very well, and is pretty spot on......the more gear you add, the tighter it will get....

Lee, remember the easy resources you have for a converter.....

 

My car has a 3500 super street fighter stall. Had 3.23s went to 3.73s and gained 1 tenth in the 1/8 mile

 

If your ever in Florence you can see what a 3200 Circl D converter feels like. I might be swapping it out for a PTC soon.....maybe

 

What are you geared?

 

i was hoping i may could find a hook up!!! HINT HINT.... and when you say the converter gets tighter do you mean that the stall get lower? as in with 3.23 a 3500 stall would become more like a 3000 stall with a 3.73 gear swap?

i would love that man cause i plan to spend the money and have my car finished by christmas so i will prob need to get started!

 

Camera skillzz of Jake hahaha

Lee, going from a 3.23 to a 3.73 wouldn't change much at all, maybe 1-200 rpms.....going from a 3.08 or 3.23 to a 4.10 would see more of a 4-500 rpm change.....

Of course a car with a converter likes the gear.....

Just let me know man, I can hook you up......

 

Hahahahahahaha was that Jake or Michael J. Fox filming?

3:23

F.Y.I..........you people have no life!!! All you do is sit around and talk cars all day long. Who does that?

 

Sounds good Dustin!!! You still runnin dumps?.....

That road looks familiar.......hmmmmm

 

I have the same stall and 3.73's. I havent took it to the track yet so I dont know what it runs yet.

 

Cool, that converter of mine in his car would be about 34-3600........

 

No idea what happened there....

 

I will be going to Huntsville Drag Strip on the 30th.. It is a Friday, day before Halloween.. If you want you could meet me there and we can ride down the road and I will take you down the track.
The car in the vid had 410s.. ms4 ported FAST 90 4500ish converter LT's custom xpipe 1 chambers before axle... Not sure if I had the PRCls6 heads in that vid or not, don't think I did.

Also if you start out with a 4000 and take out 500 lbs it will not longer be a true 4000, it will be more like a 3500-3600.. And on the other hand of course, more weight, it will flash higher than it did before.

I love my current PTC, hits hard as hell.. Full weight car with a baby cam and 373s 4000 PTC 2.4 STR.. I cut consistent 1.50-1.53 sixty foots DA 2,000+.. Next track visit I hope to be in the 1.4Xs..

No.. It does not actually flash lower when you add lower gears.. Driving around town it gets "tighter".. Meaning instead of picking up at 2500Rpms with 2.73s you only have to pick up at 2200Rpms with 373s (of course to pick up at the same speed before)..

 

It's my off day from making that money
