How do I tell if I need a different torque converter? I suspect that the TB is not enough for my mods but how can I tell? Thanks. Jim

 

Any suggestions?

 

The RPM range of your cam is a good start...ie if your cam has a power band of 2500-6500 then you would probably want a 2600-2800 stall. Most cam manufacturers make recomendations on stall speeds as well.

have you ever driven a vehicle with a high stall? some people like them, some people do not, all depends on what your tolerance is.


1. get some sticky sticky tires, brake stall as high as you can without spinning them, and launch the truck..........then evaluate how it feels?

2. How does it drive around town? to your liking? does it seems stock? probably does being that you have a TB converter.

 

i guess you should punch it in your truck and see how it feels, then find someone with a similar set up and a higher stall and do the same, or have them do it for you with you, and see if you like it better...the thing about stalls is its all about personal preference because you never NEED a bigger one, if you dont mind being a turd, but many people like and want them to jump into their powerband
