Thought you boys and girls would find this interesting. The is how Stall speed can be determined supposedly and NO I haven't tried it yet!!!

That is the only way I know how to do it.

Just thought I would throw this in, once you have determined stall speed and you are running a nonlockup converter and want to get a stall conv, how do you know what stall to select? Most of you likely already know this but here goes any way. Get on the freeway and bring it up to the speed limit and check the RPM'S, get your conv stall around 150 to 200 RPM'S under high way speed. If you get a conv that stalls over that it will waste power, milage, and build extra heat in your tranny.

cant you kill a converter by doing this

Sounds like a real good way to break something to me.

If I do that, all that's going to happen is a big cloud of tire smoke.

What do think a trans brake does. Just don't hold it for 5 min.
