Uhh no the people that said that are not idiots. There are much better things to spend $1000+ on because the only thing that converter is going to do is help him 60’, the car will still be dog every where else. If his only concern is running better times at the track then yes a stall will be good. If he wants to have a faster car all around and see his MPH go up then a PI swap or saving up for a blower is going to be much better choice. I like to play on the street every once in awhile and I wouldn’t like knowing that my low 13sec car just turned into a low 14sec car if I would go from a roll.

for your info my pi converter was $719 shipped and installed by me.you obviously have no experience with a converter.my stall only improved my 60' 2 tenths,it improved my 1/8 mile 5 tenths and my 1/4 mile just over 6 tenths.by the way my trap speed also increased by 2 mph!!!!!!!!!also,go back and read the first post!

Yes a single disk is $700 but a triple is a $1000 and is always a good thing to do then add on the cost to install it if he doesn’t do it himself = $1000+

I've been in tons of stalled cars and I just bought one for my car so yea I think I know a thing or two about them. You proved my point for me, you picked up everything in the 1/8 mile from your 60’. You only picked up .1 in the last 1/8. The 2mph could have been from the stall, the weather, and/or the track prep but its still nothing drastic.

He wants to run low 13s but hes not going to run low 13s with a stall. A PI swap will give him a good start and make the car run faster all the way through the RPM and blower would put where he wants to be.

Im not saying a stall is a bad thing to do Im just there are better things to do before you do a stall.

in his first post it say's 14.1@102 .that is definately enough mph to go low 13's.my car only trap's 101 but will run consistent 13.20's(off the bottle anyway)!my converter put my 60' times consitently in the 1.80's with 1.80 being the best.i've been 1.87 on nitto extreme zr's.yes your car will run low 13's with a converter,nuff said!
