hey all.
as this is my first auto car, im not very cluey on stall converters. what size stall do i have in my xr8? what is the auto box called? are there larger stall available for it? who sells them? this is what i thought a stall converter was, and please, no harsh attacks: stall converter allows you to put your foot on the brake and rev to a certain rpm before wanting to break traction or take off.....? right/wrong? also, what size stall would be good for a supercharged xr8? i know power is good from about 2000 rpm right up to redline..... any suggestions? thanks all. |

1800 rpm iirc
BTR 4 speed yes Dominator or any convertor house will sell and make them for you.. Between $450-$650 and about $200 to fit it.. When you make performance modifications, you generally shift the engine's torque curve upward into a higher rpm range. Therefore, you need a converter with a higher stall speed so that you can launch the car in the fat part of the powerband. So, a higher-stall converter will improve acceleration by allowing the car to launch at an rpm where it is making power. 2500 might be the go.. i know ADXR8 runs a 2500 rpm convertor with the lock up removed.. Be sure to fit a big cooler, the trans oil get alot hotter the higher you go.. Bad for the BTR tranny
