Do I care about launchability? Not really - I'm not planning on racing. So... why do I 'need' a higher stall-speed TC again, anyway? Seriously - I don't get it. You keep making arguments that support racing or launching (which is probably fine for CZ-75 - sorry to hijack
I'm not talking about just launch...You're car can flat out back fire and die with out the right stall....I'm just talking about a decent take off from idle...Sorry if you miss understood what i ment about launching...just a good healthy take off is all.
Not tring to start a fight...I just dont want to see some one make a mistake and put the wrong converter on a 4v motor is all. A stock 89 gt mustang 302 has small valves and heads compared too a 4v cleveland...So it needs less stall.
When you're heads are very large inside it struggles at low RPM's too keep the gas atomized....If you give it gas and you have wrong converter..boom..Your car will either die on the spot or back fire or struggle to get going.. ..Right converter will stop that from happening..It lets your motor rev and keeps the gas atomized till it can use it properly before it has too much load...It will save you from any stalling....So if your runing a 4v motor you should have more than a 1800 stall...It needs a 2200 "or more" to run right in town.
It pretty much comes down to the size of the valves and passages in the head.....Most 2v's even with alot of horse power will still have a lower sweet spot than a mild 4v motor...Smaller valves can keep gas atomized better at low RPM..Passages in head are smaller..So higher velocity at low RPM...With big valves and big passages like 4v, the velocity is too slow at low RPM's...The gas will pretty much turn into rain and fall out of the air...and car will fall flat on its arse when you put it under load with wrong converter.
Decided to go with a 12 inch inverter with a 2,200 to 2,400 stall, which should work better given my application.
Sounds great for your motor.
