how are 3500 stall conveters sopasto act

If you have an engine that turns the RPM's that require you to use a 3500 stall then you would have gears between 4:30's - 4:88's 3500 stall converters were designed for engines that have a power range of 3300-8000 RPM so the engine's RPM would be at the beginning of it's power range when you leave the line. If your engine's power range is lower than that, you are wasting horsepower with a 3500 stall and creating more unnecessary heat because the converter is slipping when the engine wants to go.

If his car runs good with that set up then it would run even better if the converter and gears were matched to his engines power range.

the new converters are so efficient its crazy. that converter was built for his car knowing he is running a 3.23 gear. its not just an off the shelf thing like the old days. heck i was running a a 9.5" dynamic converter in my dart. it was a 3800 stahl. had 3.91 gears and i never took that ***** over 6000 rpm. i thought that was nuts when i was ordering it but shawn at dynamic told me it will be perfect. you know what. he was right. that thing worked and worked awesome. my car drove like a car with a stock converter on the street and when you nailed it or launched it at the track you felt like you were shot out of a cannon. its amazing how well the new converters. besides that 3500 number is just a generic number if its an off the shelf converter. tq of the enigine and raise and lower what it will flash and stahl at.
