Stall speed

[Two T's]

What stall speed are most guys running with a te45a wondering if my stall is to big I belive mine is a 3400 9.5 lock up from pat's motor out now so just want some reference from other guy's running the 45a so when motor goes
back in if I need to change think I will be running a 210-215 or 206-206.
Thanks
Tom

That's about average for that turbo. Now I see people using lower stall converters, launching with more boost to have less slippage up top. It works at the track but kills the fun of the car on the street.

I used a 3500 with that turbo. I really loved it at the track but just like jasjamz said i like my bb alot more on the street. You could try this to help with spoolup. RJCRacing The leaders in Buick Performance and Innovation

3400 should be darn close. If you go with the 206, it should get the turbo going a little quicker with your current converter selection.
Also, the car may be a little rich on the tune on the bottom, that will also affect the spool up. Lean it out a bit, and it should wake it up.
