Re: Auotmatic w/shift kit

I agree with everyone so far, but here's a little extra info. Did you actually check the stall of this converter on "your" car? The stall of the converter is greatly influenced by torque. Big meats, low gears, all affect the final stall of the converter. I had a 455 olds torque monster motor in an 81 bonneville. I ran a 3:23 gear with a converter listed at 3000 RPM, and the car was a bull at the strip, and very nice to drive on the street. The converter actually locked up around 2500.
