Can you explain that to me? I see people putting a higher stall speed on there rebuild trannys and I would like to know why.

Sure I can, but not as well as the article I read about it. Google "selecting a torque converter" and read the article.
I'm theorizing that Mohawk moved his peak torque up with his mods. I'm guessing a slightly higher one would compliment that. A higher stall on a stock engine would probably not be a good idea, but even with the few mods I've done, I can feel the power really picks up around 2500rpms. If I had a 2400 stall converter, my engine would launch right near the start of my powerband.

I wonder, if he has moved his peak torque range up, why couldn't he install a line loc system?

ok I think I get it now. His motor is making more power than the stock one can take. So by uping the stall speed he will hit the power band sooner?
