I have heard that it is the low buck converter for 87 and later vettes. It has the same stall as the 85-86 Corvettes (I want to say 2050 stall?)
I think the S10 is the same from GM except you get a new one when you order it.

LOL, I bought one of these in 98 and it was a reman. The S-10 has a wimpy V-6, low torque, esp back in 96. I installed one in my Impala SS, the stall speed started at ~2400, three months later when I pulled it out, the stall speed was ~3200. My LT1 tore it to shreds. IMHO, you'd be better off buying a good TC like a Hughes or if you have big money, a PI.

I have a Vigilante in my 86 and an S-10 in my 94.
The S-10 use to be about 2000 stall ,I am about to take it out the thing clunks when you step on the gas real hard and the lag when just crusing when it tries to catch up sucks.
With it I lost about .20 in the 1/4 mile.
With the 4L60E they don't recomend holding the trans in the power break mode for more than 6 seconds.If I flash the converter it is faster in the 1/4 .
