Converter stall?'s

[tommygodfrey]

I'm thinking about flying down, renting a Mustang, teching it in and tearing all you down after 3rd of qualifying. Just to break you in right. I hope you guys read the rules front to back. John you haven't for sure. Geezzzz you thought the boss would be allowed? You already missed the fact that you get a 100lb weight break for the auto and the weights are with driver. I saw your post on svtperf.... lol

And yes I know a thing or 2 about teardowns and F/S LMAO

Back on topic. I would do the converter for sure also, we're getting ready to test a new converter from another company as soon as we get an auto in here. They will be cheaper than the Circle D's and they're still a billet unit made by a top quality converter company.

Tommy I will be sure to chase you down to help re-assemble everything as that is my department............... Would be interesting to see if everyone is legal.

Come on Freddy... Run some heads up with the big boys... no pun intended...

Tough talk coming from someone that never races their car...

You're not even going to pass factory stock tech..

You're assuming he actually enters.

Ugh!

Tear downs, can't run this, must run that!

I spent too many years helping my father with his NHRA Stock Eliminator cars.

I took one look at those rules for Factory Stock and considered it for about 30 seconds.

Screw that stuff.

Blech...

 

[kdanner]

I won't be racing the Factory Stock Car, I will be running Super Stang with my Procharged 2011 Mustang GT 5.0L!

Hey doesn't BBR have a procharged 2011 also? You suppose they would match race you with it?

Yeap tear downs do suck but it keeps everyone honest to an extent. It's part of the ball game as you learned with your dad. How many times did you see people get bounced?

You'd see one every few races get tossed, normally for little things. A lot of times it could have been an engine builder screw up. Some things as simple as not checking the actual cam lift. OEM lift was max lift allowed, so if .543 is OEM, .544 is a no-no.

I understand why the rules are there, I just have no want or need to play those games anymore. Too much money.

LOL. I know what you mean. I raced F/S for 4 years. I was inspected at my first race in '07 since I won the event and ran low et. I've offically lost count on the time I've been inspected or torn down. At least 10 or more times. Worst being Bowling Green 2008, motor out piston in hand Saturday night at 10:00 pm. Passed inspection, reassembled and had car running at 2:00am. All in time for first round at 9:30am ... LOL went onto go quicker on Sunday and won the race

sounds like a few guys are running 4.10s in the auto. I really like the 4.10s in my 07, i was concered in my 2012 though with the new tranny (also an auto) that 4.10s might be too much (I also sorta DD it, it's my only car, but i have a company truck so I don't have to drive my mustang unless I want to or need to go somewhere) You guys think 4.10s in the 2012 will be no problem if I have no problem with 4.10s in my current car? I'll also be considering a stall eventually. first just intake+tune+O/R-mid+gears+drag radials, i might have the thing paid off before i do more than that anyway.

i have 4.10's in my auto and love them. highway at 80 mph is 2900 rpm. i dont do a ton of highway driving so its no big deal to me.

1 year later, some things never change.

Ok, dumb question I know, but what does a converter stall do? difference between 3200 and 3500?
