does anybody know what a good stall speed is for a custom tc? i keep asking protorque but they wont get back with me. anybody have any info on custom tc's and has anybody had any good experiences with them.

The stall speed varies with engine torque.....
The more torque you have at the wheels the higher your stall speed. Protorque told me that I should see around 300-800rpm increase in stall speed. Believe me you will notice the difference. The only problem is that under normal driving your only in 1st gear for like a second. Because you get to 1800rpm so fast the car shifts quickly.

It made my car way quicker off the line. I did race one stock 3rd gen and I put 1.5 cars on him before I got out of first gear! The only bad thing is that since your turning around 1700-2000rpm all the time your city mpg is slightly worse. Highway mpg is not affected, but its a very good mod. The only problem is installation is around $400-700 because the tranny has to be removed. When you install this TC get a new rear oil seal too and install a tranny cooler. Get Hayden model #403 from autozone/pepboys/Orielies and about 4ft of 3/8 hose too.

1800 in first gear?!
I NEVER shift out of 1st that low! mine is always 2500+, even when driving with my grandmother in the car. when I switch to "power" mode on my tranny, it wont' shift until 3k+. during normal driving- well normal for me anyway- it will usually shift into 2nd about 3700 rpm and 3rd about 3000 rpm.
just thought I'd throw that in. 300rpm won't give you much change, but 800 certainly will. I've noticed my car bogs off the line until the RPM climb to above 2000, then it hauls ****. I've even known it not to break the tires loose until the car is going 5-10 mph, THEN the tires start squealing and the tach/speedo both jump. ??? weird.
