Trucky it has rained everyday this week plus we got 4" on snow yesterday, lol. If the rain/snow stops, I will be proud to make you guys some vids. I could make some now but there would be crazy tire spin, with little forward progress lol.

 

that awesome and ya i would love to see some vids but totally understand the weather thing

 

Stupid Nebraska! Don't worry when I show up it will be sunshine and rainbows.

 

whats does the 3000 stall meen?

 

So with the promotion do you get to keep the valve body and the cams?

Blown you better hide man.

 

Don't worry, he's the Navy squid not me.
Hendrix, the best explanation is on how stuff works... just do a search it will provide a lot better explanation than we can, with pictures!

 

Yeah man, but I'm not the one bringing the rainbow flag I'm hoping it doesn't rain tonight, if the weather holds I will try and make another run at it tomorrow.


A stall converter is a viscous coupling that you could compare to a clutch as far as what it's function is. As the engine rpms come up, it allows less and less slippage until it reaches full lockup at the stall speed - at that point it's like having the clutch all the way out. I don't know how it actually works inside. All automatics have and need them because otherwise you could never get the car going from a stop. The idea behind having a higher rpm stall converter is the same as slipping the clutch off the line to get a better launch - keeps the engine from bogging and allows it to get into the powerband quicker. It is actually a good mod for even a stock auto stang, especially modular motored stangs because they have less low end grunt than the pushrod 5.0s so they are harder to get out of the hole quickly.
You just wouldn't want too high of a stall on a street car because if you are trying to cruise with the rpms below full lockup then it is always slipping and you are wasting gas and power and generating excess heat.

 

so would 3000 be good for my truck or do they make lower?

 

They make lower lol, his is for a supercharged and modded application obviously! I got mine at 2800, talk to the guys at edge or whoever you want to use, they always take into consideration each of your mods and what you want, and build the T/C accordingly. On top of going too high...don't get too low of a stall either!

 

Your average Dakota gets a stall of 2600 or so.
When you go to order a stall they will ask you for
1. Cam Shaft Specs
2. Gear/Differential
3. Dyno Sheets
4. Time slips

If you are running boost they will want to know what PSI at RPM if not on the Dyno sheets.
