Upgrading to a Holeshot torque converter with a higher stall speed can enhance 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 low end power and torque.
The stall speed of the Holeshot 2400 is 2300-2500 RPM (based on an engine producing 230 lb.
ft.
of torque at 2500 RPM), making it best suited for mild to serious performance applications.
In addition to better launch capability, the Holeshot provides more strength.
The turbine and impeller are furnace brazed, and many 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.
Also, this converter should not be used with a transbrake.
The lockup feature is retained on V-8's, allowing it to be run as lockup or non-lockup.
