stall rpm
in layman's terms, what does it mean when the automatic's torque converter has a higher stall rpm? apparently, this allows more power to the rear wheels, but i've never heard it expained. thanks

A higher stall torque converter will multiply the torque of your engine to put more power and torque to the tires! The high stall torque converter will "slip" the engine into a higher rpm range where there is more torque and horsepower. This will make your car haul ***!

Don't you think that the stall converter would only be good for drag racing with slicks?
If I break torque my car any bit over 1500rpm the tires will just spin on launch.
So would the stall converter only be good for slicks? Is it bad to break torque or something?

Like WallStAl said, its all about torque multiplication.
