Re: Converter stall for turbo 4l80

FWIW, there are people out there that run stock 4l80e converters (~1800rpm) on boosted motors and claim its ideal. Most of the stuff I see runs the 32-3600rpm range for turbo or P1/D1 cars. There's a certain amount of balance between turbo size, stall speed, and spool time/boost pressure.
I'm familiar with stall, just all my experience is in the diesels. My rpm is much lower but boost much higher when i'm staging, quite the opposite as a gas engine I'd imagine.

I just couldn't see the stock converter being the best option especially since its boosted. Then again this is all new to me so I have no idea. My plan is to run around 10-12lbs. I'll keep doing some research but thanks for the info.
