explain me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi most of the c5 owners in this forum with auto tranny said me that my performances encrease if i change my convertor with a vigilante or others that have a mayor stall rpm.
Now i don't know how the converter works and i'd like that someone explain me how and what are the differences having the 3500rpm stall converter???
Thanks for all :confused: :confused:
:cheers:

Alessandro,
A higher stall automatic transmission torque converter allows your engine to rev to a higher RPM before the converter locks the transmission up to the gear set.
If your stock converter had, as an example, a 2,000 RPM converter your engine could only rise to 2,000 RPMs before the converter would lock up. Most engines develop very little horsepower and torque at or below 2,000 RPMs.
With the 3,500 RPM stall converter, your engine can rev to 3,500 RPMs before lockup takes place. This is much closer to the peak torque point of the engine, which will allow your Vette to accelerate harder and faster than the 2,000 RPM converter.
I hope this helps. :seeya :chevy
