Ok take a look at my signature, it has pretty much all my mods in it, maybe a few missing but only small stuff. My question is I still have the stock TC in it and I want to know what I will get out of swapping in a bigger one, is it worth it, will it make the car faster... Basicaly I have never played with TC's before and Im not sure about what to do.

Keep in mind this car does do a fair amount of driving in the summer. I dont want the car to be overly hard to drive in the city.

 

With a correctly matched TC you'll knock off close to 5/10ths most likely.

In other words get one.

 

ok, so how do I determine what stall rate to get? and will the TC lock up switch that I put in still work?

 

I'm not positive on how to pick them, maybe try a search, I thought I remembered someone saying pick a stall speed 500 rpms below peak TQ. But I could be wrong. If you don't find any answers here, maybe call summit, they should be able to match you one for your setup.

 

For a street driven vehicle I like to pick a converter that puts the stall about where the engine just start to "pull". In your case it might be 22-2300 lets say. If you go below it, the engine will tend to bog till it hits those R's. If you go above it you are wasting power, especially since it probably is starting to flatten out in the 5-5500 Range so there's not allot to give away.

If it is a track only car it is another story, you want to jump right near the peak torque so you can launch hard.
