That is a good question. If Im right I think the stall convertor allows you to tach up the engine while on the line to improve your launchs but I may be wrong. As far as the torque convertor please refer to my title...

There is one thing with the torque convertor make sure you have a trany cooler or if you dont mind rebuilding your trany every 1000 miles.

dont worry about a torque converter until you change that gear and get some slicks or drag radials or huge ass tires launching at 3k will do noting but make you spin your first gear...


also i just looked at this too.

one of the reason converters are used -is if you have a big rad cam the engine has to idle higher.
