you know how you can hit the brake and the gas in auto tranny. the revs go up but the car doesn't move? a stall converter lets the revs go up higher before the car starts to move. IE better launch

Re: Stall Converters
Yea, I think to install the converter, cooler, and shift kit, it will run my around $400, which isnt that bad. I'm sure not gonna try to install this thing! I got a great deal on a TCI Competition 3800 so I jumped on it.
