: : Could one of you knowledgeable and patient folks out there explain the effects of different stall converters. I'm building a fairly potent 302 for my son's Mav (there is some chance I might borrow it on occaision too)but I don't know how a higher rpm stall converter affects street driving? Does a 2500 rpm converter mean that you necessarily smoke the tires every time you drive out of the drive way? Just looking for some practical advice. Thanks.
: Whatever the stall speed of your converter, remember that the higher the stall speed the more heat that is generated in the transmission fluid. So make sure when installing a high stall converter, to also install a transmission cooler as well, preferably in series with the stock radiator cooler.
