transfixleo, i installed the b&m before i knew anything about trans-go. im having my tranny rebuilt at a local shop. can i buy the trans-go kit and have them install in place of the b&m? and if so i think i read you reply to a guy once that the trans-go kit in summit isnt the best one. can you give me a part number for one you recommend? one more question. i know the s-10 converter is ok for mild performance. you think this will be ok behind an engine with about 350 hp?

 

Here is a link for the Reprogramming Kit from TransGo or Pro Built has them too.

The proper stall speed depends completely on the power band of your engine. This means that if you have an engine that starts to "pull" at say, 2100 RPM and you have a 1600 stall converter, your performance off of the line will not be at it's best. On the other hand if you put in a 2400 or 3000 stall you will be wasting expensive power, since the converter won't be passing the maximum power to the tranny until later in the power band. In the example I used, a 2000 stall would be ideal since you will "flash" up a little bit on take off. You will then be at the optimum take off RPM. Sometimes too, people have the proper stall converter for the engine combo but have the wrong rear end gears to fully utilize the power.
