illusionzzz Member 180 Member For: 19y 4m 8d Posted 08/05/07 06:11 AM Share Posted 08/05/07 06:11 AM Hi guys, I'm in the process of getting a heap of work done to my beast and I've brought up the topic of stall convertors in a couple of other threads but I'm still undecided whether or not to get a bigger convertor. I've heard both good and bad things....What are your experiences with them on the street? The car is purely going to be a street car with the excpetion of a few visits to WSID. I really want the car to be quick on the street without sacrificing driveability in traffic, purely because I live in the traffic sh1thole that is Sydney. What's a good option?Should I stick with stock?How are the manners of modded Ts with convertors? Anyone in Western Sydney wanna take me for a run in a car with a convertor?

I can stall it upto 2500rpm on the brake without wheelspin (previously only approx 2000rpm).. The drives very much like it did standard as its still a full size convertor, not a smaller size stall convertor which feel very loose until where they are supposed to flash.My opinion, get your std one modified, should get change from $1000 drive in / out from a good auto shop.danny.

Awesome for WSID though.My recommendation would be to modify your std one to 2500 and be happy. Best of both worlds Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/34779-to-stall-or-not-to-stall/#findComment-530157 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say loose to 1500-1800 and then it drove as per normal.But no probs stalling it up on the brake and leaving the line on boost. Sooooo much wheelspin.
