4000 stall and drivabilty
I was really suprised at how drivable the 4000 is!!!!Gas milage dropped some,but that could be due to the H/C too!!!All I can say is passing on the highway is awesome!!!!!!!!Took down a 911TT the other night!!!!!Stilll have some LS1 Edit trans adjustments to do to get it all dialed in!!!!!Then it's off to the dyno to test out the 3 intake manifolds(LS1,LS6,& Ported Holley)!!!!

If the 4000 feels as good as the 3500 and 3.73 it is well worth it. On the highway passing is like a rocket taking off. :smash:

Because I have them and I want to show everyone on the forum that actual gains each one gets on a H/C car.

Also - could you or someone explain to me the meaning of stall and what the diff between a 2k,3k and 4k TQ is? Thanks!

STALL TORQUE CONVERTERS
To understand stall torque converters, one needs to first understand the how the stall of a converter is determined. The stall of a converter can be determined by placing the transmission in forward gear, applying and holding the brakes, and depressing the throttle until the engine can no longer increase RPM or the brakes no longer hold the vehicle. The maximum RPM the engine developed is considered the stall speed of the converter. The brakes must hold the vehicle for the test to be valid.
Many factors affect the stall speed, such as the engine, cam setup, and the torque converter condition. The stall of a converter can vary significantly if placed in different vehicles. Stall converters are desirable because the can deliver the maximum torque from the engine to the transmission from a dead stop.
