#16893, "Anyone running high stall torque converter?"


          

I keep getting advise from people for and against a torque converter upgrade. Is anyone running a high stall torque converter and what do you think? For track only or is it still street drivable?

I was gonna get 1 but to me its just not worth it for a daily driver. When I get my other car I might add it. What are your plans?

I plan on going all-nitous. Don't know what shot but its going to be crazy}>

I don't have money for a rebuild right now so I only plan on running a 75shot. I will see how much power I can extract out of the motor just running on that shot. When I can't make anymore I plan on rebuild and bigger shot.

I will be running a 75 and 150 direct-port shots and will not have 1 so you don't need 1 but it really depends on your likings if your gonna be racing it more than your driving it then get 1 if not don't sweat it.

ya, but I wanted to know if it makes daily driving that difficult.
It seems no one has one either. Someone has to try one.

anytime anyone puts one on a v8 that use at the track and on the road they constantly complain about how much of a pain it is on the road, especially when you have one that is set high at like 2500rpm or above. Personally, I would never put one on a FWD car. i'm sure with a stock converter and some mods you are gonna have serious traction problems.. and a stall converter is just going to make it 100x worse!
