Good video. More people need to watch this. I've run 5-6K converters on the street for 20 years. So many people think you will cook your transmission. They don't understand that at part throttle cruise they don't slip that much.
@@mexicoracing691 No. For normal driving it doesn't generate much heat. I have a small single loop cooler on my transmission in addition to the little cooler in the radiator. My external cooler is one loop measuring 24", that's it. I don't run a huge RV style trans cooler. Not needed.
PTC is the best of the best. Got a buddy who runs they're converters and Powerglides behind a 4000hp car and a 2000hp car and they handle it extremely well.
What tach and oil pressure guage is that? I run a 6200 fti 8" converter 4l80 transmission behind my 427. Just went to 4.56 gears and still drives great
In general the stall converter is load sensitive meaning the more load you apply to the converter the higher it will stall. The more power applied or the heavier the car or both will raise stall speed. Gears will also change stall speed. Usually a 3.08 gear will load the converter more than a 4.10 gear.
Yes factory temps sensor in the pan. I run John Deere Hy-Gard low viscosity in it with some Type F for color. It averages 180* depending on what I'm doing.
Under full throttle thats all you need. Actually the converter was still a touch tight. Under part throttle I could drive it to work without breaking 2500rpm.
Okay I have a cammed 6.2 silverado, and I for the most part understand how converters work, but what would you really need a 6k converter for? How big of a cam and what compression and what motor are you running?
Drag racing. You want your converter to flash stall 100-200rpm higher than where you make your peak torque to put you immediately into the power band. My 7.1 liter in my s10 makes peak torque right at 5,000rpm and I have a 5,200 stall converter in it.
Typically let’s you rev higher rpm’s before it locks up if I’m not mistaken or that’s just the jist of how it works. Therefore creating a mean hole shot and/or keeping the rpm’s up between shifts.
Put 2 box fans together and only plug one in. Now turn one on (engine) and the air from one turns the dead fan (transmission). A stall works the same way but uses fluid instead of air. The tighter the tolerance between the fans, the higher the engine has to spin to turn the transmission and tires. It acts as a clutch for an automatic transmission to disconnect the engines power from the drivetrain when not needed.

Im really thinking of this i have an rb26 so 4k+ is needed atleast
Any recommendations you’ve seen true it needs a lot of cooling

Man... your stall speed is my red light on my truck..lol
Ya crazy, ya crazy! But ya smart!
A modern big stall is life!

...and spooled up quick!!!
with the th400 swap how did you get the trans temp to read on factory trans gauge?
I put the factory sensor in the pan.

Aeroforce
How is it for stop and go on hills? Will it go straight to lock? Or ride the converter up it, but at a higher rpm?
Like any other stall converter. The more you load it the higher it will stall. I'll be driving it on a 1500 mile trip next month.
How does gear ration and weight affect the stall converter? More weight higher gear lowers or higher stall?
In general the stall converter is load sensitive meaning the more load you apply to the converter the higher it will stall. The more power applied or the heavier the car or both will raise stall speed. Gears will also change stall speed. Usually a 3.08 gear will load the converter more than a 4.10 gear.
Do you have a trans temp gauge? Wondering what it gets to...what fluid are you running?

Better be turning that motor high
I shifted that build at 7200

Can you get a clip of the dash when going down the strip?
Probably not
How's that transmission fluid temp?
I run a B&M 70274 cooler and I'm just below 180* on the interstate and just above in traffic in town.
That's pretty good!!!!

It's my daily. Car had 155k miles on it when I went with that size cam. It has almost 184k on it now.

In case you missed it you have a tire low on air!!😝😝
😆
No tire pressure monitors at that time.
sounds like a cvt
What does your transmission temp run at?
Depends on what I'm doing. Under 180 on the interstate. Under 200 in town.
@@bowhite1293 is there anyway I could ask you some questions about swapping my car?

Looks like u do gotta get up to 3k before it starts rolling
Actually no it would do 6mph at idle.
its like a CVT now
Actually no I still have 3 gears
Good for you
