Guess I am wrong. Maybe it the 85 that had the hi stall in it?

Its an automatic transmission but I think 2200 seems high for that year of Vette

Re: 91 Torque Converter Question (bstirn)
I think I need to change mine too then! I have an 87 & it won't break the tires loose, I suppose its nice not to worry about putting it sideways. However, my 85 seemed alot quicker & took more attention to keep the car from swapping ends during spirited cornering. Hmmmmmm what should I do?
Tailhappy or safe & secure?
