alright. i was wondering.... my car travels at about 1650rpm on the highway at 65 mph with 2.73 gears and stock stall (1600). i was wondering if i got a 2400 stall if that would raise my highway rpm at 65mph to aprrox. 2400 rpm, or if it woukd still stay the same at 1650rpm. ????? thanx

 

No change....

 

u sure no change man? this question hit me last night when i was riding in a friends 94 Z28 with a 2800 stall. he were going down 50 and it was at like 3k rpm. he only has 3.42 gears. i thought he was in OD, but he must not have been. thanx

 

Depends. If the converter retains the lock-up function it will be the same. Without lock-up, it will be higher--and create a ton of heat. At 3000rpm with a 2800 stall converter he had to be in a lower gear.

 

3000 RPM at 50MPH is about what I run when the converter is unlocked or if I am in "D" rather than "OD".

 

let's see you have 2.73 gears. he has 3.42 gears. that's why he runs higher rpm for the same mph. here's the math.


RPM=MPH x GR x 336 / TD

2319=65 x 2.73 x 336 / 25.7
2906=65 x 3.42 x 336 / 25.7
