toque converter

[abshire1006]

i have read that the R/T's come with a 2600 stall converter, is this correct? i had planned on getting the edge 2800 stall but if my R/T has a 2600 i will just spend my money elsware

Ive been told that a aftermarket converter is still a big upgrade for a rt truck

There is a huge difference between a stock RT 2600 stall converter and an Edge 2600 stall converter. There is so much more to what makes a good converter than the stall speed that it is set at. 2800 is actually mild for an RT that I assume you aren't towing with or taking off road. If this is a street/strip truck, then I would be looking at a 3000/3200 stall converter.

yes sir no towing or offraoding, its gonne be a street/strip truck. i plan on making it a fun little machine, following to upgrade to your shop truck lol

Forgive my ignorance, but what do you gain from a higher stall? What does it do for you?

I would love to have a higher stall converter, but just can't let someone break down my transmission when I haven't had any problem with it, even as hard as I drive.

Puts the engine closer to it's peak power range before locking up. Allows for higher RPM launches.

Ahh gotcha, thanks!

And it'll have you lighting up those tires with ease lol

before locking up, what does this mean in the grand scheme of things. Sorry for the dumb question but hey

The ecu on these trucks do not like to be stalled up and it will pull timing if it detects it. So with a higher stall converter you can stall the truck up without the ecu freaking out. So you launch a lot harder off the line. On the street your rpms will jump up to 2800-3000 almost instantly when giving theottle. 3000 is about where these trucks come alive.

+1... I just spoke to Andre at Edge and he recommended the 3000 stall TQ. I told him the truck was my daily driver and planning to play at the track on the weekends. He said the 3000 would be perfect for me and my use of the truck.

With my quiet exhaust now I can't hardly tell I got a stall now!! The neat thing for me now is it takes very little effort to spin my bigger a/t tires before stall it was not so easy. I sometimes wish I had a 2wd with stock tires just to do burnout and such. I consider it one of my favorite mods and would do it over long tube headers.
