Re: [FWDLK] Transmission Question

[Dave Homstad <dhomstad@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

No! 1st gear in a TorqueFlite is 42% lower than in a PowerFlite. No way 
a 200 rpm increase in torque converter stall speed will make up for 
that. I've had both a PF and TF in my 56 Dodge. The TF is MUCH faster 
off the line!
