Re: Flashing the converter?
Flash stall is when you smash the gas to wot at a dead stop. Your flash stall will generally be higher than the advertised stall.
Get some better brakes or install a trans brake.
Oh and dont stall converter and let off the gas, thats bad for a lot of parts. Rpms drop too quick. Stall the converter and take off.

Probably not. How high can you stall it until the car breaks free?

The cam you are using.... provide enough vacuum for power brakes to work correctly?
