even with stock tires you can hook at 3600rpm. just takes practice

I've been told by 5 different shops that a 2800-3200 stall would be best suited for my car & mods.

being in vegas, it's hard for me to break 14's with my bolt on's.

plenty of people DD 3200-3600 converters. hell, I used to DD a 3800 converter with a manual valve body (meaning I had to shift up and down in an auto every shift)

its not as bad as you think. trust me.

the biggest thing is finding a converter that kicks in a few hundred rpms above where your car starts its powerband

[anthonyj9h]
