How Do They Work?

Here it is, in a nutshell, it allows more slippage(in conv.) so you can get the rpms closer to your power band,thus putting your eng at that sweet spot in the power band. so the street tires that you are running would probly really go up in smoke out of the hole. Expamle i have a INDY 415 and i was running a 3800 conv. i could hold it at about 3500 with out the car wanting to push the front wheels, I now have a 5200 conv. now i can hold it at about 4800---thats were my combo starts to make power. Stall conv. make a lot of heat you will need a good trans cooler. Also the stall speed depends on the wieght of car, the engine tq., cam. and gears in the rear. There is a lot of other things to. Do you have a large cam? what else? do you race alot? you can go to the site for TCI conv. a they have a more indepth page on the matter. like i said this is ina nut shell, I have probly opened a can of worms, but this topic verys with every differrent combo of cars. again im not a eninee just have had some different conv. in my car. Any one else????
