what is a good torque converter? and can i put one on a car with just an exhaust

Doc8224 · December 30th, 2007, 04:34 PM

B&M has some, sean hyland motorsports has some. Those are pretty good. Are you looking for a high stall converter? If so, how high of a stall do you want? You can put a stall converter in a car with any or no mods.

i have an automatic mustang gt, what do you think is the best option for a mustang with exhaust only? what gives more power?

GEARS are your best bang for the buck!

gears and a 3000 stall torque convertor for a daily driver..no higher cuz then your waisting your gas..but you may want to get that tranny built a lil before putting a stall in it..i rebuild em if you want a good deal..i have 2 of em here at my shop i can build and ship to you..

i have a dirtyd0g 3800 torque converter w/4.10's in my auto, not bad at all for daily driving, oh and also get you a nice,bid tranny cooler.

if you only have exhaust, i wouldnt get a converter yet.

but lentech has the best built 4R70W's, and torque converters.

Neither "give" power. The stall converter will let you launch at a higher rpm. If you don't race it from dig alot you may not want it. A stall converter is a great mod for the strip it drops 1/4 mile times alot in an auto. couple it with the 4.10's and you will drop a lot at the strip. I say get em both.

if i replace my stock fan with an electric fan what would that do? my friend told me i would get a little hp because it wouldnt be hook up to the engine like the stock one was. if so what is a electric fan that would fit a 2001 mustang gt

MustangMatt96GT · January 1st, 2008, 12:46 AM

You need new friends.

RandoGT · January 1st, 2008, 01:53 AM

how will a high stall converter help you launch from a higher RPM range. i know it helps you do it but launching how? like dropping from N to D or holding the break and launching? help me out

MustangMatt96GT · January 1st, 2008, 02:03 AM

just buy dropping the hammer, or powerbreaking it. i would say a 3500 stall is about tops in a street driven car!

Doc8224 · January 1st, 2008, 02:57 AM

Its a flash stall. Nail it from a dead stop and watch the tach, it will jump up to like 2k rpm before the car actualy moves. that is about the stock flash point. Now hold the break while in gear and push the gas. the car will stall up to around 1900-2200rpm and no further *note you may have to hold the e-brake so you don't spin* The high stall converter will move these points higher in the rpm range. i.e A 3000 stall means when you nail it from a stop it will jump up to 3000rpm then launch. Thus you are leaving in a better spot in the power band. I think that is the best way to explain it. It is 2am though. On a side note, high stall converters generate more heat so an aftermarket tranny cooler is highly recommended.

all my friends like chevy and have camaros the only people that have mustangs are my 4 cousins and me. so ya i do need new friends. im just learning how to fix my car
