I've had bad reviews about auto transmissions with high stalls on the street.
I called TCI and gave them all my specs, they said 3500-3800 stall speed.
I've never really played with auto trannys befor.
How will this effect the driving on the street?
Whats your thoughts and expirence with them?
Waste a lot of gas lol
that's way to much stall for street, you'll have killer launches, but that'll be rough in traffic and you'll be popular at the pump
the stall will never stall to its max potential unless its stomped from a stand still. if you put a smaller one in and that one is needed then you'll be giving up performance. just run a good cooler set up and you will be fine. i doubt fuel economy is a issue if he has a motor requiring that kind of stall!
i run a 3500 on the street never had a problem been doing it for years
People said I'd be on the brakes all the time. Is it safe to go to a lower stall? I don't rev the engine to the moon, it makes alot of torque midrange. Could I get away with 2200-3000? Put your recommended stall plz.
But again. TCI said 10" 3500-3800

I think it's the cam that's forcing the stall up, it's rather large.
go with 10" 3500-3800. it will not run at 3500 going down the road. it may slip to that rpm range when in the gas but it start locking up and rpm will come down. I don't know why you would be on the brakes more with hight stall.
You could put any size stall in you want...the purpose is motors with large cams will not idle in gear because of the lack of vacum while in gear. Once your in gear the stall will lock up and you won't even know its there till you hit the gas again.
go with the stall your motor needs. 3500 is livable is on the street.
Thanks alot guys.
I just saw an add on CL for a TCI 10" 3000-3200 stall. Could I use this? It's like $300
buy a new one if you can, most of the time used converters are no good. ask the person how many trans the converter has been in where trans went out. converter is the heart of trans. if the converter is no good your trans is going out, and dose not matter how dose the trans work!! (just my 2cents on that. )

It says used 2 months last summer.
buy a new one for the motor so it will work right.... if your converter is not right for the motor you will never get the motor to do all it should...
Ten 4. Thanks
put your money into a good converter and you will be happier.
what cam ya got? what's it's "power band" ? like my cam has a 2,800 -7200 rpm range so im gonna run at least a 2500 stall, usually you want to get as close to where the power range starts as possible.
