Question about stalls

[trentvy]

hey all sorry if this has been covered Im just a little confused and would like to further my knowledge. say you have a 3grand stall fitted. and your sitting at the lights with your foot on the brake. so when the light goes green you need to take ur foot off the brake and rev it too near 3000rpm for the car to take off? or if your take your foot off the brake it will idle slowly and you can drive it normally. sorry if it sounds dumb. but this is all new to me.

It will drive almost like standard, just think of it as a slipping converter under 3k rpm

you can drive them normal, try it with your standard stall, as you are driving put your put down, it will jump to around 1700. Then try to take off real slow, you dont have to take off at 1700. Only thing is you use more juice as you don't realize how often the stall works as the car doesn't rev so high so its not so obvious. Also if you put the foot down a bit on the freeway, it will always jump to around 3000revs whereas now you might just put your foot down a bit now and the vacuum kick down will change the gear. 3000 stall is pretty high, you'd want to go 2200, or 2500 max with standard cam. The stall and cam are the most closely related thing in the drive train. Hope that helps, try How Stuff Works site, its good if you want to get a good understanding.

No probs, the other to test a stall is put your foot on the brake and tramp it, but the only thing is is usually breaks traction or the brakes dont hold it still long enough to get a accurate reading but still, you should see about 1700-1800.
