5500 Stall Converter Cruising (Video)

FredS said

Have you ever ran this motor with a lower stall converter? Just curious. Stroker's make so much torque, they can deal with a lower stall quite well.
Not trying to take anything away from your observations. I think it's helpful for people to see how a high stall behaves too.

Yes I ran a 3000 stall when it was almost 14:1 CR. It was better for street driving strictly for keeping rpm's down (500 less at cruise than this one), but it wasn't the optimal converter for my intended purpose or this combo. I put in the fastest converter I could get in an 8". I think a 4000 stall would be an all around really good converter on a stroker street car. I often wonder what a 4000 stall would be like compared to this one in this same car. No regrets on this converter, I just wonder for comparison reasons.

I don't want to step on toes, but the idle/transition circuit could use some work too, if it's a Holley, I can help. I'd start here:

Oh yeah man definitely. This carb still needs a lot of work. I scanned through that thread and I'm glad to hear that others have the same exact AFR issues I have. Also glad to see there's a step by step fix for it since I know absolutely nothing about how the metering blocks and all that work. Getting tired of 5 mpg! My foot only makes that 5 mpg number worse too. I don't want to get too far off topic in this thread, but I do appreciate the help! :cheers:
