Is a 3000 stall converter Streetable?

Is a 3000 stall Streetable? Most of the “daily driven” street cars we build have anything from 2,400 on up to a 3,500 stall converters in them and they are very streetable with no problems. Just because a stall converter may have a 3,000 RPM rated stall does NOT mean the car won’t move until it revs to 3,000 RPM.

Are Yank torque converters good?

This is an excellent choice for street and strip use. High torque and high top-end efficiency are trademarks of the 3000 converter. You can see why these converters were the first sold for the LS1 and still remain a popular choice. The Super Yank 3500 is a breakthrough in street/strip converters.

Do you need a tune for a higher stall converter?

Stock tune with a better converter should be fine, unless the replacement converter has a high enough stall to hit the rev limiter…which is unlikely, but possible, I guess.

Can you daily drive a car with a stall converter?

However, a stall converter will affect your daily driving by lowering your fuel economy substantially. This makes it a poor option if you’re using the car for commuting. The reason that a stall converter boosts your acceleration is that it doesn’t allow the tires to break loose until you reach a higher RPM.

What is the advantage of a high stall torque converter?

A higher stall torque converter will let your car accelerate better because the car will be taking off at the rpm range where it is making the most power.

Does a torque converter require a tune?

Yes, you need a tune. Without a proper tune you will most likely hit the rev limiter on 1st-2nd gear wide open shifts. Also, tuner needs to look at the lock up. I made the mistake years ago and put a higher stall converter in my 4th gen Fbody without a tune (because everyone said I’d be okay).

What happens if your stall converter is to big?

A high stall converter can easily make enough heat to fry a transmission if you hold it on the line long enough at full RPM if the stall speed is above 3,500 RPM or so, so a good tranny cooler is essential when running ANY type of high stall converter.
