torque converter

[blownsvt]

just interested to see how many people are running a stall and how do you like it? :beer:

is it true that they take longer to down shift,when you punch it while crusing.does it lag.or cant even tel its a higher stall.

With the proper tuning for the converter it will downshift and behave great on the street. I did have to have my tune worked on to adjust the lock/unlock schedules of the converter though. When left stock, the truck would detonate at 60 or so mph when I punched it because it wouldnt downshift. Other than that, I love it

I love the way my truck shifts. With the FTVB and ProTorque 2400 it shifts really firm and the truck doesn't lag at all. My tuner did a super job of tuning in my shift points so that helps too. I would highly recommend the protorque as I'm sure many others here would too.

My PT drives great, it fels revier when I hit the gas. You dont get that low end crispyness but get a fast reving engine. Overall, it shouldn't be a first mod. especially now with gas prices..

Im running a 2400 stall in my truck and love the way it shifts. I like chris am also running a FTVB but I also have 4:10 gears as well. Lets Just say I loved my drives to work when the Gas was not so damn High

What is the highest stall you can run and still be streetable

I have a 2400, and after driving it for a few weeks, I think you could definitely go higher and be streetable. Maybe up to 3000 or even higher.

so you guys are saying a TQ converter for these trucks sucks up more gas?? I just picked up a 2400-2600 converter yesterday.

 

[mhays26]

Takes more rpms to make the truck go = more gas used I think. I havent really checked mine, when you get as deep in as I am it sucks no matter how you look at it
