We came to here... Talk about converters.
(I had a novel of a post, but LXF crapped-out again, and I'm not gonna type it all over... and I'd rather spend my time smashing my keyboard till all the letters scatter on my desk.)
compare to stock.... compare between current converter options.
Explain it to a 6 year old......

I have the Mopar converter. I think it actually drives better than the stock unit. I have better throttle reponse. I can't really compare 60's times because I changed drag radials and axles when I changed the converter, but you definitely feel the difference launching.
I would like to hear feedback from other guys who have the higher stall and driveability. I believe even with a 3000 stall you'll still have good street manners.06 MSRT8 Mods: PWR 419 stroker, w/PWR cam, Mondello Stage 3 heads, Arrington 90MM TB, LMI Carbon Fiber CAI, Dynatech LT Headers, Southern Hot Rod NAG1 HTCr, Pro Flow Direct Port Nitrous, DSS 9" IRS

I have a 2800 stall... installed it at the same time as ported intake, Fri Street Heads and a Paramount Valve Body. Normal driving it feels tighter than stock... get on it and all hell breaks loose
Kind of like shooting a .50 Desert Eagle in an indoor range or having sex while riding a bull

my PI converter feels the same way, i was pissed because i thought the stall speed wasnt right when i first drove it lol, i was trying to be easy on it to break it in. after that when i started gettin on it turns out stall is around 3200 but you would never know it wasnt stock without going WOT. i was really amazed at how stock it felt part throttle and being able to jump right up to 3200 anytime you pelase is nice also Originally Posted by GasGunR

Someone mentioned there were differences between the manufacturers too.

Have a Precision 3500-ish stall in mine. Definitely can tell when backing up a hill.
Beyond that, the Adaptive TCMs that we have do a damn good job using the lockup clutch to keep daily driving very friendly... partial lockup almost immediately from a stop sign, and through all gears, at light loads.2006 Charger R/T w/R&T - Black | Electronics Convenience Group | Sunroof | CMR | Police Steelies

Wow, did you impact the TCM Mike? The TCM doesn't do any modulation of the clutch until 3rd gear. (According to Chrysler service documentation on the NAG1)

I'm confused about the topic of this thread...Is it a torque converter tech thread? If so I have tons of stuff I can share from various sites and personal experience regarding stall, STR (Stall torque ratio) etc...

Here comes a newb question,
Will an aftermarket torque converter make my call overall feel more "ballsier / peppier" for city driving? If so, whats the best stall tc to get for city / hwy use?
