Akron Don,
What is your rear gear ratio and tire height?

I put a Dynamic 9 1/2 in my car this year. First time with an automatic.
I think it slips very little through the traps (5400 rpm/4.1/29.5 tires).
Did the drive real slow in third and nail it. Flashed to 4400 RPM. It
seems to drive well but it seems a little slushy at the start. Does a
valve body make this kind of difference?
I'm happy with the converter and really happy with the automatic over that
parts breaking and bitch to launch 4 speed.

A 3800 stall converter like a 9,1/2 Dynamic for instance IS CAPABLE of
3800 Stall under full load conditions. (Big engine huge torque , trans
brake or four wheel line loc and lots of throttle)
That is the maximum it could ever give. mine which is one of those will
allow my engine to idle at around 900 to 1100 RPM ingear without hurting
it but suppose I take my foot of the brake. he car will roll ahead and in
a veryshort time will be motoring along at 25 to 30 MPH. . How does a
converter work ? Glad you asked. It recycles the oil inside back against
itself (through the stator which stands still, locked by a one way
clutch )to increase torque. When the converter begins to move the car
(This is called coupling speed) The stator begins to rotate with the
turbine and impeller which it can do in that direction and the stall
function is effectively ended at that point. The common idea that if you
have say a 5000 stall converter then the car will not move till you reach
5000 stall is just nonsense and needs to be killed and buried once and
for all. The stall depends on the load the engine the brakes and is
almost self adjusting. Now Why is the Dynamic converter so much better?
Because when a company , any company makes a 10inch or larger converter
they have to open the clearances up insdie to get the extra stall. (It
now does not actually couple properly and is not efficient) Dynamic
istead uses a smaller converter to start with and concetrates on making
it unbreakable. As i am sure you can understand it is easier for a bigger
engine to get a a higher stall speed out of a smaller converter. These
converters dont have that big saggy feeling like your driving a worn out
rubber band, They act n more or less normal in normal driving situations
because inside they are more or less normal but have been rebuilt to be
stronger than dirt! If you place the car in a position with wheel locked
and engine reved the big engine can overdrive the small converter and
give a bunch of stall for a neck snapping launch but if you drive it
normal it will act normal because it is not far off that in specs , only
much stronger. When i put his converter in yOR car. and it was a 5100
stall I dropped 4 tenths in Et and gained 3 MPH in the quarter mile
and lowered finishline Rpm by over 300 RPM. I call that efficient. That
was over several converters including an O69J and a B&M .His 9 1/2 street
converters are similar but with street style stall.(3800 max)
Why do others say all that wrong stuff.? Good question! Because they have
never had one , that is why. (Wirklich Dooner , Du must bischen trauen
haben. Wir lugen nicht. )
