Turbo 400 3500 Stall Converter FAQ

How many stalls does a 3000 rpm converter need?

This is true for a 3000 RPM converter. Most mild race cars will use between 3500 to 4500 stall speeds on average. Faster cars will normally have a higher stall speed, especially in a smaller cubic inch engine that doesn’t have a lot of torque displacement.

How much horsepower does a stall converter add?

The reason that a stall converter works is easy. An engine that has 1200 RPM will only have about 80 horsepower, but at 2500 RPM it could be up to 200HP; obviously a car will launch easier at 200 HP than one at 80HP.

What is a stalling torque converter?

Stalling is when the torque converter locks up during a load. For instance, if you have a car that has a 2,500 RPM stall converter, and then you hold both gas and brake at the same time, like you were going to power brake, then general RPM that the tires will break loose at is going to be 2,500 RPM.
