Before all of the mods I have now, I bought this Raptor(9X12) 3000 stall converter off of Ebay. Looking at the Turbolink logs I have, it appears that the rpms are not dropping enough between shifts. There is some time lag in Turbolink so I'm not 100% certain. It seems that at 5500 rpom upshifts, the rpms are only dropping 250 rpms. It's hard to tell since it does spin the tires. I can also tell because at full throttle, I'm in the O/D gear by 85-88 mph which seems really low. Even in O/D and with the T/C locked, it's still pulling hard to the tune of about 10-12 mph per frame, but I see 4th lit up on Turbolink really early like I mentioned. Since with no slippage, we should be able to go to approx. 120 mph in 3rd at around 5300-5500 rpms, I think going into OD at that speed is too low . Otherwise, the boost comes right up and the car pulls like crazy while unlocked, but I just feel it's not efficient enough on upshifts and will flash and hit the rev limiter on a hard downshift. The car barely moves at part throttle until about 2000+ rpms and begins to hustle around 3K rpms which is where the stall is suppose to be.
In my turbocharged 99 GT, I ran a Protorque converter(went 10s on that one), Precision Industries single disc & a multi-disc. I have read that the multi-disc is noisy in the GNs for some reason although I never heard it in the GT. I would like a 3400 stall converter, that I won't notice around town that is efficient enough unlocked to get good rpm drops with my setup so I can get over 100 mph in 3rd gear. This way I can lock it up at 105 mph, but it's still very efficient unlocked. Sorry for the long post. Any thoughts, opinions, etc will be appreciated.
