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

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.

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