TC question
with a higher stall torque converter, i understand the difference when taking off. either stab the gas from the brake or left foot brake and load up the converter first. what about when your cruising, say 30 - 40 mph and you step on it and it down shifts, whats the benfit of the tc when rolling?
im getting a 3200 yank next week.?
thanks

Assuming you have a "lock-up" converter, whatever your rpm's are when "rolling", they will immediately "flash" to the spec listed for the converter when you punch the throttle. Doing so will get your engine up in the rpm range closer to your power range and should increase acceleration.
