I have 4.10s, shift kit, tranny cooler, and adjusted shift points. I will be doing a Dirty Dog converter in the future.

what tranny cooler you using 97stanger? how did you like the 3800 stall converter 03gtmustang?

since we have lock up converters they drive like stock. i run a lentech 3500 stall in my car. i want to replace it with a peice from alan at BC. im having issues with 3rd gear lock up at 5300 it slips open i lose boost and rpms but gain speed. i get told its not tune related but i feel it is. ima try another converter with a 4k stall. i think 03gt had the same problem. you want to set your stall near your max torque so you launch hard. brake stalling with a 3800 is probably going to start spinning the wheels just over just under 3k rpms. if you flash the converter it will launch at 3800 and you will have a fun ride if you can get it to stick. i suggest using a 18k to 24k GVW B&M supercoolers. they are about 50 bucks and work pretty good. i run the 24GVW and had to mount it behind my foglight since my intercooler takes up a lot of space.

^ thats the exact tranny cooler i have. The B&M. you can get it from summit.

Go with Alan and you'll be happy. He will tell you what stall to go with.
