Upgrading to a torque converter Holeshot with a higher stall speed can give you better acceleration from a dead stop.
The engine can launch the car at a higher RPM, where more torque and power are available.
This can be especially important if other modifications (like larger cams) have reduced your low end power and torque.
The 2000 Holeshot has a stall speed of 1900-2100 RPM (based on an engine producing 230 lb.
ft.
of torque at 2500 RPM), so it is best suited for mild performance applications, such as vehicles with minor engine modifications that don't produce more than 350 horsepower.
In addition to better launch capability, the Holeshot also provides more strength.
The turbine and impeller are furnace brazed, and many of the components are brand new, including the precision steel alloy pump drive tube, the heavy duty needle bearing between the impeller and stator (not a thrust washer), the turbine hub, and the springs and rollers in the stator.
Please Note: High stall torque converters can build extra heat, so supplementary transmission cooling is recommended to avoid premature transmission failure.
This converter should not be used with a transbrake, and on V-8's it retains the lockup feature, so it can be run as lockup or non-lockup.
