high stall torque converter on street tires - 10/26/11 09:59 PM
Sorry if this is a noob or repeat question. I love Moparts but it has the worst search function of any board I've ever been on.
If you have more than enough power to brake the tires loose, is there any point to installing a high stall torque converter? Wouldn't it just make it harder to launch?

If your car spins on the track, you dont have too much power, you need more traction. Even with a 5500 stall.

Also cleans up the idle for street, less effort needed to hold the car back against the brakes, less likely to stall or resist on heavy braking, less likely to knock at low speeds from too aggressive spark curve.

A loose converter won't shock the tires as much, and gives the suspension a bit more time to transfer weight. In a
moparts thread about them I asked if the FAST cars run very loose converters and the answer I got was dead silence, like i had touched on a well guarded secret.
