2000 GT 3500 stall before and after

[justinschmidt1]

So my old torque converter got thrown into my brother bolt on 2000 gt

His best times previously were 13.7s with a 2.05 60 foot

With no changes other than the 3500 stall he was able to drop that time down to a 13.2! His best 60 foot and time with my slicks was 13.22 with a 1.82 60 foot

He ran on his street tires for shits and giggles and was able to pull a 13.35 with a 1.9 69 foot.

I figured he would pick up more with the slicks but at his power level they didnt help much.

Anyways, thought it would be good piece of info for any automatic guys out there.

Cliff Notes:
3500 stall takes 2000 gt from 13.7 to 13.2 with no other changes

Thanks for the info. How hard is the swap on one of these?

 

[justinschmidt1]

Just gotta drop the trans.... its a pain but well worth kt for any auto car

Stalled autos really come out of the hole nicely! Thats a good piece of info.

yep, they are nice but build more heat. personally i would also add a trans cooler

 

[justinschmidt1]

lol, well he already added a trans cooler a while back when he did the 4.10s....stock autos could use a trans cooler...everyone should have one. Also, its a locking converter, it cant built that much heat considering its locked up 95% of the time anyway.

But yea, I was actually expecting a little better but I guess the power just isnt there with his car.

With the same converter my car did a 1.64 60 foot!

i was just recommending a trans cooler if he didnt have one (just for safety) but yes i agree all auto cars should have one.

Nice upgrade! My gt has a stall and 4:10s and dam it makes a huge difference of the line. Well worthy upgrade .

For those interested here are the exact numbers.

Alright so I got some data for you guys

Before:
60: 2.035
330: 5.78
1/8: 8.83
MPH: 80.46
1000: 11.465
1/4: 13.69
MPH: 101.3

After:
60: 1.82
330: 5.41
1/8: 8.42
MPH 81.56
1000: 11.0
1/4: 13.23
mph: 102.28


So you can see that the stall knocked 4 tenths off the 1/8 mile time and increased the MPH 1 mph in the 1/8th.

AS expected from the 1/8th on is about the same, the converter is locked at that point so that's how it should be for the most part.


Heres the street tires slip:
60: 1.93
330: 5.54
1/8: 8.545
MPH: 81.63
1000: 11.15
1/4 13.35
mph : 102.4

I was impressed that the car still picked up a good bit of time even on street tires.
