Well after reading numerous posts about how happy everyone is about the performance or the higher stall convertor, I went ahead and purchased one. Today was my install day. It was a soupy 95 degrees out with heavy humidity when my car was finished and I was able to take it for its first run.
I put the car in gear and I was surprised that it pushed forward like normal, I then decided to try a light throttle tip in like I normally do just to see if there is any difference. At first there is a micro second of slip and then it rolled off like normal. I was definitly Happy.
Then came the 1/2 throttle take off. Even with this heavy humidity I was able to get a squeal from the tires at only 1/2 Throttle! I never was able to put that off before.
Now the fun part, I clicked the O/D off and just gave it a full throttle launch without loading the convertor. I had a bit of spin and a bit of Sideways action but I was still gaining more speed then I was Pre-install. Once again I was quite thrilled.
Finally the best test of them all, I pulled into a empty block, wound the convertor up to about 2100 RPMS and let it rip, the Rear tires screamed and smoked up a bit as I drifted sideways then the tires bit and I hit 60 in no time. Im beyond happy with this install and especially happy that the drivablility hasn't really changed from before the install.
I have noticed that the shifts are velvet smooth, but I was still able to get a slight chirp out of the 1-2 shift at WOT but the part throttle shifts go un-noticed.
I have also noticed that just cruising around, If I dip into the throttle there is more power all through the band which I was also very pleased with.
I highly recomend this mod, Keep in mind all this was done in a hot and humid day, I can only imagine what it would feel like on a 50 degree morning.
This Mod has my Seal of Approval!
