This was back when I had my old tires on the truck. In two wheel drive it spun a lot and I could only stall it up to 2k. With my new set up it doesn’t spin and I can stall up to 2,500 before the tires break loose. 4wd launch does it in 6 so I can imagine that with 2wd with the new set up it’s just a hair quicker.

The incredible Hemis cammed with an 8 speed auto. There’s a lot of different variables to making the truck quicker in the 0 to 60. Just changing to a smaller tire like he does I’m sure I can get in the low 5s. He also has more displacement and a more aggressive cam spec.

I’m not claiming anything. I’m just assuming that’s what it would be. Smaller tires do the same as regearing so it’s pretty logical that it would have a quicker time.

By far the best upgrade I did. I had my transmission control module sent to texas speed for reprogramming.

Shouldn't really get hot because it's a lockup converter. They help with temperature. That's one of the things the tow mode does. Instead of it locking up in 4th or 5th at about 50mph it happens in 2nd at about 25mph. In tow mode it also raises the shift rpm 300 to 400rpm at part throttle in all gears. It helps keep the motor up in its power band. Slipping is what causes the heat. When it's locked there's no slipping so it runs cooler. Also from a dead stop if you have good traction or in 4WD. Try flashing the converter. Which is just going full throttle from an idle. It will hit harder and leave with more power.

I did notice my transmission running hotter. I do have an aftermarket tranny cooler on there to keep the temps down. During the winter I don’t ever worry about the temp, but if it’s stop and go traffic in the summer I really need to keep an eye on it.

I need to get a convertor between my headers and 3 inch exhaust it's a dog off the line even with the maggie

Nicely explained 👌

How does this affect daily driving? In other words, would you do this in a Tahoe or Suburban that's not a sport truck but something you just want to improve the low end acceleration? Or does this only really affect doing brake launches?

Nice vid buddy

Would you tell me more about this I am trying to upgrade torque converter on my 94 jeep cherokee

The torque convertor allows more torque to be created. Horsepower is a function of torque over time. The looser convertor plus the stator pitch angle allows a higher multiplication of input torque to the transmission. That's why you feel the difference.

With corvette servos 🤘🏼

Bro... your truck is pretty damn quick.

What size engine? I'm trying to collect parts and such to swap a 4.8 LR4 into my 2005 Chevy Colorado, probably want to go with a 2300rpm stall or slightly higher.

Got a question for you young man as I just purchased a 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche had to put a new engine in it yeah and got it running and got it going and the transmission is Shifting kind of like what you're talkin about within aftermarket torque converter is there any way to know for sure if it's an aftermarket torque converter when it shifts that shifts beautifully but likes a second gear it'll get us about 4,000 RPMs before it was shift unless I let off on it I'm going to worship and then it will ship transmission will shift sorry using talk-to-text

I getting 1 soon because I did the big cam

So the tune you added doesn't count, right? Watch the 1-2 shift on both, watch when the rpm gauge hits 6 and stays there, take note when you watch it with the stall

You should do a side by side with before and after.

I'm putting a stage 3 master comp cam kit, the only long tube headers I could find that fit my 07 300C AWD 5.7, a 90mm throttle body and true header back straight pipe. So far all I have is a 180 tstat, cai, and Diablo tuned to 93 oct. I'm researching tq converters now because someone told me I would have to upgrade the tq converter with those mods. Someone said I would need to upgrade the timing chain also? What all do you think I would have to upgrade at the same time as those 3 mods?

First pull you had traction control on and it activated. That also changes a LOT!

I have a 2017 Escalade with a 6.2L engine. Instead of a torque converter, I'm swapping my 3.23 gears to 4.56 gears. Then put lighter brake rotors, lighter tires.

im getting a 36-3800 stall prototype.

Another point that you didn't make is the increased RPM following a WOT shift which most people call the shift extension. Your RPM fell to ~4300-4400 after the 1-2 shift with the stock converter, but only fell to 4600-4700 with the aftermarket converter. Even though the more obvious benefit is quickly traversing the lower RPM in 1st gear, you also get a few hundred RPM benefit at each shift which also means more average power in higher gears also.

It locks up like the stock converter. Depending on the tune you can have it lock up whenever you want it to. But usually when your just cruising it will lock up like 45 mph and up.

how is the lock up in over drive? do you have to turn the engine at 2500+ to get the converter to lock in?

@JohnVesely

Just cruising without lockup it doesn’t even go up to 2,500 unless your trying to accelerate. But it just locks up shortly after it shifts into overdrive and it feel like a stock converter after that

The stall speed is typically not something that is adjustable on torque converters. The only way to increase it is to install a torque converter built with a higher stall speed.

Instead of putting in a hi stall converter you could just swap out your gear set in your diffs. That way you don't waste your trans and actually fix the issue you're dealing with.

Find where your cam starts its power band and go 500 rpm past it. If your cam has a power band starting at 3000 rpms then get a 3500 rpm stall convertor. You can tune the convertor lockup point so that it doesn't slip so much driving around.

All depends on the application. I do have another video briefly describing what a high stall converter does. But if you want something more in-depth then there’s a few other videos on KZread.

What kind of power is your truck making? How big of a cam do you have? I have a +500 rpm stall converter from tci that I'm torn about installing. My engine should make killer torque from idle but an extra 500 rpms wouldn't hurt. I've got a turbo 400 trans right now. It's in a 1990 K2500 Silverado. It's got the RV/towing style low-stall converter. I think they call it 1300rpms on a stock 350 engine. Stock was 190hp@4000 and 300lb/ft. @ 2400. According to comp cams camquest software, I'm making north of 400hp @5500 and 475lb/ft @ 3500. The stock converter naturally stalls higher now with more torque. It rips the tires off if you punch the throttle from idle. Since it is so responsive, I'm not sure if I need the extra 500 rpm stall converter. Currently, the truck weighs 5700lbs and has 4.10 gears on skinny 245/75R16s. I'm upgrading the trans to a 4L80E. No overdrive and no lockup converter is horrible on the freeway! I'm turning 2500rpms at 55mph on 2 lane highways.... 80mph is a whole different level. At least the other cars know I'm there from my exhaust note singing proud. What are your thoughts?

Does a high stall converter make the truck jerk?

@JohnVesely

5 жыл бұрын

Define jerk?

Some people saying trans tune or smaller tires. I wouldn't recommend it. The problem with this kind of theory is the higher the rev range your engine stays in the less reliable it has become. revs kill not torque. This is an awesome upgrade but if you go into smaller tires or changing diff sizes you will need to maintain a higher rpm range for similar sustained speeds and it may be out of your power range depending on the gear ratio in that transmission. I am sure you have an overdrive, probably in the .73 to .80 range. Keeping the rpms at a cool 3000 while doing 70 and that is ideal and inside your power band. range, not quite max but a good trade off considering the higher rpm torque converter...With all that being said. please please please keep that truck within your means. Id hate for you to lose your job because your truck took a dump due to the added load your transmission sees when it gets hit in the higher powerband range. This is where engineers actually have some sense. all the parts work together and when you do a little thing like that it in fact shortens the lifespan of other components. putting more strain on the trans, your axle, your diff, your u joints. your leaf springs or suspension. but its been 4 years so I'm going to assume you have it and its breaking parts or you got rid of it.

Stall converters are amazing for performance. Problem is what a turd they make a crew cab daily driver truck bellow 3K typically. Best bet for a dd is keep stock stall and just do smaller cam, headers, cai, and supporting mods with a custom tune.
