wow I've been searching and reading for over an hour and I finally found an answer in this post: https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...ealth+thruster

 

a heavier truck would put more load on the drive train and everything because its harder to push the truck thats heavier. the camero might have more torque but the truck weighs so much more it offsets it. i have a 3200 stall thats the car edition and it stalls to 3400+. look at it like this. you get a real strong guy, and a pretty strong guy, the pretty strong guy pushes the car pretty easy, and the real strong guy pushes it even easier. the real strong guy has to put more effort into pushing the truck than the pretty strong guy did on the car because the more wieght of the truck has more effect than the difference of the strengths.



another angle. pretend you put your back against a car on a gravel road and start pushing. your feet are going to slip some until you get enough friction and pressure going to push the car.

now, with the same shoes on, put your back against the truck, granted you're a little tired and probably not as strong but when pushing against the truck, it weighs so much more than your feet are going to slip alot more until you finally get the truck moving.
your feet slipping is the stall speed fyi





edit: just forget about the strong guy pushing scenario, feet slipping is much better.

 

im on a 6.0 right now!!! 408 is in progress. yes my Fbody PI 3500 stalls to 3800 behind my 6.0 in my truck

LS1 have same flexplate and same trans!!! so yes it will work just like a TB converter will work in a fbody...i know cause my girls ta is running one it stalls to 2500

 

good info on that link.

 

yup, well hopefully I can pick this stall up pretty soon and get started on my cam/stall/engine swap. I doubt anyone cares but if you look at my previous threads, I've been trying to do this swap for over a year now, and I finally have a little money!!

 

but what does weight have to do with a brake stall? if the traction is there the vehicle with the most torque should stall higher. i can see how the flash could be higher on the heavier car.

 

i was talkin about flash stall the whole time.....i guess ive been mistaken if we have been talkin abotu break stall

 

weight and torque of a vehicle varies the actual stall point in a converter

 

That depends if you are talking flash stall of brake stall. Vehicle weight wonmt affect brake stall unless the extra weight helps keep teh rear tires from spinning when executing a brake stall test.

brake stall means nothing to me im going by actual stall
