    My bad dude, I thought you had a manual in that car. So the auto tranny didn't shift when it was supposed to and the car hit the rev limiter?

    I got a manual in mine, and when it hits the rev limiter there seems to be no power. If you shift it right, then you shouldn't hit the rev limiter (of course), but for some reason I don't think that factory tach is real accurate. Or maybe its because it revs so damn fast above 4000. One second its on 6 grand, and a millisecond later its on the rev limiter (mine is set at 6600).

    Man I love how this thing sounds above 4000, it sounds like it went from small block to big block in a nanosecond.

    im making power to about 6,500 also, i love the sound of it when you get on it, and i just have a cutout

    You are putting a stall in it too right? 2500 rpm or more?

    A stall makes a night and day difference. You are gonna need some BIG stickies to keep that thing planted.

    Well, it is how it transfers power. A high stall converter like the one you got will greater multiply the torque created by your engine. You will feel more thrust, it is hard to explain really. I had a stall in one project I had, and it messed up and started spewing tranny fluid. I took it out, and put the stocker back in there, man I didn't even like driving it anymore. It transferred the power TOTALLY different. Also, the stall speed is kinda like "dropping the clutch" at higher rpm. That moth*f*cka is gonna rip dude when you lay into it.

    I want you to tell me what you think after you drive it with the stall. PM me or sumthin.

    Every hot rodder should understand what's happening under the car. You might find it interesting.
