Re: Horsepower You should list this question under the drivetrain section. Patrick G can give you a good explanation of how a stall converter works. Also check the Yank website listed to the right on the page. Do the stall before gears. It will make a huge difference, as long as you pick the right stall speed. I would go at least 3500.
