I notice SS guys use our I6 converters, can we use the stall converters people list for SS models? I want a 3200

I am one of the people that looked at your post - and admit that I wondered 'why', but I also did not have an answer.
But I'm curious as to what you found out. My guess would be if they can use ours, we should be able to use what they use.
And still curious on the why too.:wootwoot:

They're used because they have a higher stall than the stock TBSS stall converter. From my understanding, stall is pretty much how high your engine will rev before the torque overcomes the break. In that case I'm guessing they use it as a cheaper alternative to aftermarket converters to get a better launch.
Care to explain then?McGMT said:
This is what I read:

The OE TBSS is a 300mm, rated about 1600-1800. And the OE I6 TB is a 278mm rated at about 2400-2600.
Well I'm back lol. Anyways we can use theirs, yep. Any why?
Because a higher stall converter means better ET. You want to choose a stall rpm that coincides with the start of your torque curve so it locks up 1:1 with your power band

Thats why...
It has nothing to do with your "breaks"
Brakes, should hold your vehicle no matter how hard you hit the gas...
