you can brake stall a TB converter to 3,100? yet it flashes to 2,600? usually your brake stall is lower than your flash. ****, with my 3K stall, i can only brake stall it in 4wd to like 2,700.

First time I nailed the accelerator my truck with a 3000, I just had 4.10 gears put in... Talk about "OH ****!" White1 was standing outside of the shop, and can confirm the doughnut I did in the parking lot. The truck jumped forward so quick, I had to cut the wheel left because I was about to jump out in front of an oncoming car. Scary ****, but I was like YEAH BABY!!!!

The SST3200 from Yank is a better upgrade. Doesn't allow for a ramp-up on RPMs at part throttle like the PTC3000 I had before. Can still ease into the throttle without making the motor scream. But, when it flashes, IT FLASHES!

What's the diff between brake stall & flash? I thought 1 of em refers to when the tires just begin to break loose, while braketorquing. That's brake stall, correct? Set me straight.
