That's fine, and you're welcome. Just make sure you're sure about stuff when you post.

....you start the car moving with the engine already in the power band where your torque converter's stall speed is.

its in the power band if you were a smartie and matched the stall speed on the converter to your cams or the other way around.

factor converter will spin the wheels at what, 2k rpm? and honda cams get good at 4.5k+.

Yeah, that takes a good bit of money though. Replacing torque converters with upgraded aftermarket units isn't cheap, and then you have to worry about the transmission itself holding up.

The factory converter stalls at 2k to 2.5k, depending on what car you're driving.

yup, and a lot of the TCs i've seen only raise you stall 100-300 rpms

haha, i know that's why i posted "brake torquing in an LS1 = heaven"

 

[phunky.buddha]

I would get a higher stall than 3000 if you're going to race a Honda automatic.

Whats the stall speed on an integra LS?

 

[zexymexi]

i have a auto h23 with a level ten tranny and stall it eats up alot of you 5sp people who cant drive, and hangs with most that can. And if i dont hang i just call on my friend n20 and he is always there for me
