280Zone Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Is there any way to tell what the stall speed is of a torque convertor? I am looking to buy a used one and would like to know what I am looking at before buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravRMK Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Get the numbers off the converter, then check them out online. As a general rule, the smaller the diameter the higher the stall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

280Zone Posted December 2, 2007 Author Share Posted December 2, 2007 Hardly able to read them but did find some. Luckily it is blue leading me to believe it is a B&M and part number identifies it as a Holeshot 1800 to 2100 RPM stall. Says its good up to only 350 HP and my target is 385, or 12 seconds in the quarter. Time will tell. Thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

280Zone Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 What would you suggest Dr Hunt? My biggest problem to date is traction off the line. I can't go with bigger tires with the current suspension set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
