1300-1600 I think.

*67firebird* 05-09-2005 09:42 PM

thats horribly low im thinking of going to a B&M TORK MASTER 2400, will these be good in a 400 engine, 1 3/4 super comp. headers, performer Intake, and holley 750cfm, and a .490" lift lunati?

i wouldnt waste my money on a b&m converter. I installed a 2400 stall TCI piece of junk and it didnt feel any different than stock.

*67firebird* 05-09-2005 10:08 PM

really? damn im bidding on one, i was thinking it would be good since im not pumping out so much HP and TORQuE,

*67firebird* 05-09-2005 10:10 PM

so what Stall should i use?

i have a 23-2500 converter, which is borderline too high for the street. i'll probably go to something around 2000 rpm when i have the tranny rebuilt next month.

A conv built right will be tight on the street still!I use a 10 " 3200 stall from cont, And I drive on the street and race my car at the track all year! ....it drives like a stock one till you nail it..yes it is looser than a stock one ,but if u have used stall conv before you will know that these are very tight! You get what u pay for buy a cheap one now and down the rd probably be rebuilding your tranny besides looking for a new conv...JMO

ok now im scared about this purchase on a 2400 it seems many people have their own opinion as for the 3200 thats seems incredibly high doesnt anyone agree?

grandville455 05-10-2005 09:05 AM

It All depends what your total combo is and what you want to do with it...if your just streeting it and maybe a race now and then then u dont need a big stall like me...,but i want every possible hundreth i can find thats why i went to this ... The guys that run these cont 10" will all atest to how tight they are http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...icon_smile.gif,before i had a cont 13" stalled about 22-2400...it was awesome also!....

I run a 3800 10 inch converter on the street. Of course I don't get in stop in go traffic. Ive had this loose converter for 4 years with no problems. It's a transking 10p. I wouldn't worry about running a tight 3200 like the continental. I know people running 9inch converters on the street with no problems. I guess it depends on your preference. Sound like the 3200 continental would be a good choice for you. Good luck!

*67firebird* 05-12-2005 09:07 PM

that 13" is a 3200 stall?

*67firebird* 05-12-2005 09:09 PM

bob, i sent u a private message

frbird400 05-12-2005 09:34 PM

I run a tight 8" cont. converter. It is fine on the street from stoplights. Slow acceleration and it doesn't stall too high, romp on it and you get 4K rpms quick.

*67firebird* 05-12-2005 10:15 PM

wellim at a stock level engine and i bought a turbo 400 off someone and recommends a 2500 stall. the trans was rebuilt and has a transgo shift kit and a deep pan. and the best thing about it was that i only payed $81.00. is a 8" compatible with a stock engine?
