I'm having my tranny rebuilt but I don't know what the stall speed should be set at. I'm running about 650 RWHP on the street but can raise the boost for about 800 RWHP. So what stall speed?

When Tony did mine, his guy recommended a 2400 stall. I'm very happy with it.FlyingLow said:I'm having my tranny rebuilt but I don't know what the stall speed should be set at. I'm running about 650 RWHP on the street but can raise the boost for about 800 RWHP. So what stall speed?

i really dont agree with that at all....first one was at 5000 and still had great street ability ...if he goes to low his turbo will NEVER spool up on a brakeJTS VENOM PERFORMANCE said:going much over 2400-2600 for the street is gonna cause tremendous heat an hurt the overall drivabilty a bit,
anythign over that and you are basically sitting on a track truck, if you drive it daily stay in the mid 2000 mark if you want more track oriented and be more pron to tranny failure and overheating go higher,

he is turbo charged i a talking about spooling it up on the brake i a around 4k now and it sees about perfect.........i drove y truck over 500 iles the last few weeks with a 5k stall i dont know what your referring to as sounding like a honda....but then again i a just getting the truck dialed in and really not that fast yet but what do i knowBone said:5000??! Really? Am I missing the punchline? I don't want to see someone on the forum buying something they will later regret.
2500 and 2800 on my trucks. 2800 is pushing it driving around town, unless you want to sound like a Honda at 20 mph.
I would agree with Stinker, you want somewhere around 2400-2800 in our trucks if you also use it on the public streets.
Goodluck with that. My 390's are hit and miss, as far as hooking goes, with my 2400 stall TC. They may hook better if they were new. But I dropped to 18 psi and still got tire spin.Ramchargerguy said:I've got a 2400 in the other truck, it isn't enough for me next year I'm going to put a 3500 stall and see if I can get a trans brake installed. And then put my 390s on and that should be one hell of a launch:burnout:
DESRT10 said:I am considering the 2400 converter also, but am concerned about cruising mileage/wear/heat. Do our converters have an actual factory "lock up" mechanism. I am not thinking about when slip is minimized, but an actual lock up mechanism that creates a 1 to 1 conversion from flywheel rpm to converter to trans output rpms. If it does have it, is it controlled by the throttle or by the computer. Thanks.
WOT said:The TC does have a lockup clutch. Stock, it engages in 4th around 42mph. You can change that with the PCM program. It can lock in 3rd and 4th. You could make it lock up at 30mph in 4th if you wanted, but I think the engine would be right around 1000 rpm. You could then program it to unlock with say a little more than a 10% throttle increase. That way it would mostly stay locked up and then unlock before lugging the engine.
It was definitely lighter than the stock one. Dont know how much.JTS VENOM PERFORMANCE said:not sure, I was gonna get steve to wiegh both , but not sure if he ever did
