My motor pushes it to about 3600on the brake before the tyres start to turn. Is it possible for the converter to suddenly become "looser" up to the stall point - but still retain the existing 3600 point where if I footbrake it, the tyres start to turn? Basically...the converter 'feels' like its working harder - like when there's a more powerful motor driving it - but there isnt. So it just feels like its slipping more under normal driving...but stalls up to where it should. There's no sign of burned trans fluid, no vibrations, although I think the front pump has got a little noisier..... Thoughts? 67 RO23 clone with 6.1 SRT Hemi and dual quads. Soon to have Drag Pak induction and Throttle body.

Not usually.. if you changed something on the engine where it makes more torque it will raise the stall point but usually will have pretty close the same slippage.. even a timing change CAN make more torque
