Need a Little Stall Education Loose? Tight?
#11
Looking into a stall and have no past experience in this field.
What does it mean if it's loose or tight?
What does "it flashes @ xxxx rpm" mean?
From what I read I guess if I want a little better performance with little or no MPG hit and daily drivability with occasional light to medium towing I want a 2800?
My truck specs in the sig.
Thanks

Here are the results of some controlled tests that we did to better understand some of the variables when modifying converters.

Question.
I do lots of wildlife photography that takes me off road. At times I need to bump and crawl over logs and ruts and negotiate steep hills.
What kind of difference difference would a 2600 like yours make in these situations? Is yours a tight or loose converter?

i read that link but it still did not answer the questions above about loose or tight stall. I went with a TVS 2800 paid twice as much of the circle D. I am all stock but the stall does make the tranny temps higher and I have to add a cooler. You might want to budget a cooler in and a tune weather its a update or new tune. might want to add a shift kit and servos if not done yet. I did not look at your mods.

Right now I am trying to get the feel of how a 2600 would behave in off road put putting.
I don't suppose anything less than a 2600 would be worth the trouble?

Loosenes of tightness on a converter doesn't necessarily have to do with how low/high a converter is. A 2800 converter can be looser than a 3200. Normally you want a tigher converter for nitrous applications and a loose one for N/A. How loose or tight a converter is varies and also acts different on heavier vehicles, usually feels looser. I know with PI you can specify but it's always a hit and miss, same as stall size, some stall/flash higher than others even being the same size and some don't stall or flash as high as rated. I know for a fact a 9.5" is looser and flasher higher than 10.0" converters.
