I'm having my trans rebuilt (700R4) (3.43) I have a '91 9C1. I want it snatching off the line. What is a good stall on that?
LoL. Snatching=launchingHelp a sheltered guy out here - "snatching" off the line?
Just to add - Yank custom builds each converter to their customer, so you can't just get a recommendation and then shop that around. They do build really good torque converters, so it'll be money well spent buying through them.I would suggest calling the people at Yank and get their expert advise.
All torque converters are stall converters. The rpm that they stall at is the difference.OP
unless its a 1/4 mi only car, get a 2400 especially if you have a stock cam motor. It you are running a big cam than 2800-3k
I use Hughes converter when my Imp was a auto car. T56 now so my left foot is my stall converter
Yeah Fred, I know. The cam and the TC should be matched. High stall and stock motor no Bueno. and a camed motor with stock stall also no. Car weight and gearing also are part of the equation in selecting a TCAll torque converters are stall converters. The rpm that they stall at is the difference.
Good advice. Ask the cam manufacturer what they recommend for the cam. The stall speed will also be determined by your type of intake manifold, and exhaust. Dual plane will be lower, stock manifolds will be lower, single plane manifold will be higher, and headers will be higher. The single plane will give you a higher power band, and the headers will also raise the power band. Look to the total upgrade package. For street, a dual plane manifold will give you a more comfortable power band, Headers will raise it a little, and you can still be streetable. Do not forget to modify your trans crossmember to accept dual exhausts if you are going to use headers. Make the mod while you are swapping the TC, and you will be ready when you get to the exhaust. You can get a muffler mount from any 91-93, and it will bolt into the existing holes on the driver's side.Don't buy the converter until you decide on the cam.
Thanks for the info. The car came stock with true duals. It hauls ass as is right now. Its a '91 9C1, 3.42 in the rear-stock.Good advice. Ask the cam manufacturer what they recommend for the cam.

It did come with true duals. I bought it from the second owner, he got it from the police auction. Old ATF car. It still has the original paperwork and all. The car has not been hacked on or modified in anyway out side of the MSD set up I put on there. I even went through all the RPO codes.The 91 9C1 did not come with true duals. It came with a single exhaust. Someone must have converted it at some point. They did com with 3.42s in some cases.
What's the RPO for the dual exhaust?I even went through all the RPO codes.
