What Torque Converter Stall Speed Should I Use With My BluePrint Engine?

 Why Does Stall Speed Matter?

The torque converter stall speed should complement the engine's torque curve and camshaft profile. Choosing too low of a stall speed may result in:

  • Poor launch characteristics
  • Sluggish acceleration
  • Engine bogging

Choosing too high of a stall speed may result in:

  • Excessive heat
  • Reduced fuel economy
  • Higher cruising RPM
  • Premature transmission wear
