how much can you have a stock converter "loosened" up? how much does a new torque converter cost and what are the sources for higher stall converters for a slant? |

will a comp cams 264 need a higher stall than factory? i know ive read on here that it does but many people ive talked to think the stock would work fine. my car will be daily driven but i dont wanna be disapointed with the 252. |

Stock will work fine, but you won't realize the motor's full potential by keeping the "launch" RPMs low. D/W |

so ill be fine on my driveability, but if i wanna get it to running a little better in the quarter ill have to run a higher stall eventually? so it will work fine but ill still have some performance potential left? this is something i wouldnt have with a 252, correct? it would be basically topped out on a mild street built slant? |

Yep.Quote: ...(with the 264) it would be basically topped out on a mild street built slant?
No, I don't think it would be topped out at all. I chose the 264 Comp cam because my Duster has air, it is a very smooth cam, actually, and I wish I had gone with a more aggressive cam, in retrospect. I don't think the converter would be much of an issue with the 252, but I can tell you definitely, from experience, that driveability with the 264 and stock converter will be fine. I ran the stock converter for awhile with the 264.D/W |
