What's the stall speed on a stock Torque Converter?
Just wondering what it is and see how much a diffrence it would be to upgrade? Also, what's a STR, or is a SRT? I see some as 1.86, etc...
Thanks,
Chan :confused:

It's 1600. STR = Stall Torque Ratio. The way I understand it, the higher the number the more initial hit to your tires off the line. The lower numbers give you more of a torque multiplier effect across the RPMs.

Umm sorry bro but that isnt so right on the money ..
The stall is 1800RPM and it works like this..
The stall speed is the range in RPM your torque converter multiplies torque until it "flatens out" or "locks up" to its normal driving rate.
The STR is the time your converter multiplies torque to the rear end ..
Take mine for example (see sig) I have a 2800 Stall converter with a 2.5 STR. This means at RPMS from idle to 2800 my converter multiplies the torque going to the rear end x2.5 (this is theoritical of course). Hence, the higher the STR the harder the PUNCH off the line and the higher the stall speed will multiply torque longer..
Make Sense? :crazy:

Look here, This is Yank's info vs. competition. Stock for LS-1 is 1600 stall and 1.8 STR.

It may refer to the TC in a F-body, I'm not sure.

I thought a torque converter is like an elastic band the higher stall speed is like pulling the elastic band back until it hits the torque sleep then it lets go My converter is stock works fine for now I am putting on new BBK Ssi intake with BBK 80mmthrottle body , comp cam, kooks headers k&n cai , so I am thinking of b&m torque converter about 2400 stall speed , want to be able to keep rear tires on it !!
