vig 3200 installed now car heavy?
so i installed a stall in to my car and is a single disk 3000-3200 10.5" converter.
now it feels like the car is heavier and need alot more input to move .... the car moves and drives okay but it almost feels like the car is in mud or something?
is this normal for a stalled car?94 Formula "budget build" #thebeaterbird

the car is going to need more revs to get the converter to lock up in the 3000-3200 range that is the lock up im guessing right

Yes, the car is going to need more power in order to move under normal driving conditions. Normal, embrass your fuel efficiency lol

Did you do any research before you purchased and installed a high stall torque converter? There's a good chance you will need a new tune in order to make the shifts happen on time. Your transmission temps are going to go up. Especially in stop and go traffic. And your fuel economy will decrease.
If you go WOT from a dead stop you should feel the torque converter lock up around 3000 RPM. You should have instant wheel spin. If you don't, either your tires are awesome or there is an issue.95 Impala SS Clone
