Does anyone run this stall, or know of anyone running this stall?
I was wondering about the E.T. gains from it. <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

 

It is a re-stalled version of the stock converter. It will give you a little more thrust off the line, but that's it. It will not help you from a roll at all. Nearly 100% of the people who install this converter wish they had gone for more stall. I don't recommend it. If you want more stall, but want to keep your stock towing capacity, buy a Trailblazer converter (about 2600 stall) or get a Yank Truck Thruster 3000. It's a restalled version of the Trailblazer converter and will give you a much stronger launch, but still be perfectly streetable. It's what I run.

 

Patrick G , do you know what the part number is for Trailblazer converter? thx

 

i put a 2800 vig in mine and like it. i really couldn't tell a difference until i decided to punch it from a dead stop. that thing flashed up to about 2600 and all hell broke loose, well, actually just the rear of the truck. i should have gotten a 3000, that would've been better for me.

 

hey patrick G, your the converter guru right? my yank 3000 stalls all the way to 4200 every time. i really never watched what was hapening but now i have the new gtech and a fjo wideband set up and they both clearly show 4200rpms. is this normal? i am no bitching, it seems to work well but is suprizing to me.

Hey patrick G,They put 3 engines in the trailblazer. We need the converter for the straight six or the 5.3?
By the way thanks for all the replys guys. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

 

The Yank Truck Thruster 3000 will stall 3000 behind a stock 5.3L. If you add a substantial amount of torque in that rpm range (like you would with a 6.0L and a blower), your stall speed is going to be quite a bit higher than the rated stall speed. I'm not surprised that you're getting 4200 rpms with all that extra torque. Imagine how high the stall would be if you were running a 9.5" converter (with less holding capacity).

The Trailblazer has two engine choices: the high-tech 4.2L inline six and the optional 5.3L in extended models. The torque converter in the 4.2L stalls 2200 rpms behind the stock motor, but it will stall 2600 behind a stock 5.3L (because of the larger motor's more abundant torque). The Trailblazer 4.2L converter is a really nice piece, but it's even better when it's been restalled to 3000 like my Yank. You get the stock GM clutch with major towing capacity and all the GM technology behind it. This is a much more trick converter than the heavy Yank Stealth 2400.
