stall is the engine speed at which the convertor fully engages. this depends on the best torque speed for your camshaft. for instance a cam that comes on best at 2400 needs a convertor of around 2200-2500, a performance cam, while a cam that comes on at a Edited by user Saturday, 2 February 2008 9:32:47 AM(UTC)
