How Do They Work?

thats great imformation, thanks. i only drag at the strip ocassionly (only once so far) but arn't i still better off to bring up the rpms under brake, just keeping it as short as possible? will short stalls damage the converter in a short amt of time or can i get away with this for a while? trans just rebuilt w/ rebuilt stock converter, shift kit, pretty stout cam, 4:10 sure grip rear end, headers, and a 750 dbl pumper on a high rise intake. oh its a 340 thanks
