Thread: Any website that calculates HP?

You want the drivetrain to catch up with the slippage, and it will as it makes it's run. The stall is primarily for the launch to allow the engine to build a better torque band for the launch. The converter will still have some slippage throughout but it's at a minimum.

[QUOTE=DennyW]Ok, heres my simple way of saying it. If you have a 2000 rpm stall, that means it takes 2000 rpm's to lock it up. Now, when it locks up, you go baby. To maintain the lockup down the track, your motor has to give up 2000 rpm's to keep the converter locked up.END QUOTE--- Is this what I've been missing? The lock up,in a sense takes you back to zero as far the rest of the run? (maynot be stating it right,but,,,)

it's more like as your launch but you have it.. the more the engine over powers the conv the higher the stall speed.. you don't have alot of power so you need a conv to let the engine over power it i.e stall speed

Oh For Crying Out Loud,,,, Sorry 500caddy if I got on your nerves,I apologize.I understand now.Great learning for more than myself though I bet many were reading.Thanks,and again,apologies.

faylur,nope thats way were all here.

if you want to go low buck try a vega stall had one that flash to the moon with a mild 454 was the best bang for the buck i ever spent on a stall and i wasted alot of money on them may work ok with a small block

one more thing don't cheap out on one. if you ever do more mod's to the car you can send it to one of many companys and have it changed to what ever you did..so it works with the new combo... good luck.

the stator has every thing to do with how good it will work i have blown the cast alum stators to hell and back them bolt two gether converters are good? so you could tune one in?? but looks like more parts to me. i did work on a converter that look like that it was one of the first trys from GM 1940 olds boy that dam thing was so much fun

i like my neal chance bolt togather. i have three stators one for just engine and one for 250shot of nos. the last one is used for two stages 300hp for the first stage and 450hp for the second. but for 2000grand plus 200 per stator it's not cheap....that tci is new but looks like a nice piece.
