That is probably a good choice for the street but won't give maximum ET. Based on our 4500 peak torque you will need a 4000 RPM stall. I have a 3600 in my Camaro and it's fairly streetable. It just takes a little more rpm to accelerate. If you do a lot of start and stop driving then the 3000 might be a good choice but if you drive mostly freeway/highway then definitely get a 4000. Once the converter locks it doesn't matter what stall you have.Leftoverchinese said:i recieved my summit catalog a while ago, and in it was a TCI converter for the new Mustangs thats rated at a 3000 stall. Would that be too much for the street?
uhhhhhh, 3000 stall is going to be pretty much perfect and 4000 stall is way too high. You should do some research on matching components correctly.LarryS said:That is probably a good choice for the street but won't give maximum ET.

I think you need to do the research before you pass out false information! You've got some bad "first hand experience"!cleveland said:uhhhhhh, 3000 stall is going to be pretty much perfect and 4000 stall is way too high. You should do some research on matching components correctly.
If your power band lays between 3000 and 6000 rpm a 3000 stall is right for you and can be safely used on the street. 4000 stall for a daily driven car is going to create a lot of heat within the transmission and it just isnt "streetable" anymore. Peak torque simply put isnt the figure you want to look at when picking a converter.
I've built a 383 Cleveland that makes power from 4000 on and can rev to 7500, I can provide details to prove that I know what Im talking about. The cam is what dictates the engine's performance characteristics and when you go shopping for converters the cam specs are very important to have to pick what will maximize performance. Be it a pushrod or follower engine, torque converter selection follows the same guidelines.
Lastly, upgrading to a 3k stall will not net you .6 or .7 in the quarter mile, its actually more like .2 or .3. And yes, I know from first hand experience.

Camarokillz28 said:YOu need more than a stall and some decent tires I would think. Im not sure about mustang suspension, but control arms and torque arms do wonders! Maybe a cai, and a decent cat-back, personally I would stay away from flowmaster and lean more towards bassani or slp...gotta admit do love the way the stang sounds!
Tremendous difference on the street when cruising. No matter what speed you are going you get good acceleration. You don't get that lag waiting for the rpm to catch up when you go WOT at speeds you would normally be out of the peak torque range.1ba96gt said:You would probably actually be very close to 12s with a good quality, and some what high rpm stall and tires. It is a little expensive though, and the stall helps on the strip. Its not a real big difference on the street when you are cruising and get on it.
