Yeah, I can only foot brake to 2k on the street and about 22-2400 at the track. What do u run launching from idle? My times didnt really change from idle or footbrake...idle launch doesnt spin the tires, but footbraking does if I dont get it right.Kurt2002 said:You can not brake stall a converter to its stall speed, only way to get 4K is with a transbrake. Footbraking it I can get about 2500 rpm before the wheels start to spin. That is my whole point, with a transbrake and launch at stall rpm 4K I should easily get low 12's. Footbraking killing me right now.
Thx...after reading how some guys are using 3600-4000 stalls, wish I would have gotten it higher, but it does take off like a muther as is. My friends say stalling it a bit higher will net me about a .1 or .2 better e.t.s. I think Ill just leave it for now as Im getting vt stage 2's soon. Anyway, you make auto gts proud.Yellow2002GT said:Yea, I wish I could foot brake all the way to stall! But the biggest improvement by foot braking that low is the flash stall! Basically the converter is electronically controlled by the computer! Under WOT the converter won't lock up until its designed stall range! Basically it will engage before its lock up if the WOT tables aren't engaged. Also the stall will vary depending on engine tq, hp and rpm speeds! I.E. if you have a 3200 stall and your engine only produces 220 hp it might lock up at 2800 or 3000 rpm where as if you have 300 hp it may lock up at 3400 or higher. Kinda like a sling shot effect! Thats why it is always good to get a converter based upon your set up and hp/tq ratings!

Kurt2002 said:A transbrake locks first gear and reverse gear together until you release the button. This way you can achieve your true stall speed.
Sable said:Very nice Kurt! Can't wait to run you in the Goat and the stang on Friday. You are coming to D42 right?
Yellow2002GT said:Cool...can't wait to see the results! I changed my shift points also and picked up about .1 sec and gained a full 1.5 mph in the 1/4.....seems like it needed it on the 2-3 shift!
