200r4 stock stall converter

[olds307 and 403]

I always saw a 2400 rating for the D5. Many have said actual was just over 2000 rpm behind the mighty Olds 307 HO. I know the lower stall D9 isn't even as bad as the stock TH350, 1600 vs about 1900 rpm actual for the D9. Behind a hotter 305 or 350, a D5 would be quite nice.

When I bought my used GN, I pulled a D7 out of my 2004R . It was a dog and doubt it even stalled at 1600.
I removed it and installed a higher stalled billet 9X11 .
I thought the D7 was out of a V8 Monte?

the amount of desired stall in question here is such a low amount paired along side a power plant that doesn't/wouldn't even bring much to the table to push the stall.you're not going to notice a difference at the level we're talking about.a Stall converter allows the car to launch in it's torque curve to get off the line much harder than a car that has much less stall-If you have an engine that makes 500 Ft Lbs of torque at say, 4,000 RPM, and you want that car to launch as hard as it can off the line, you'll want a stall converter with about 3,800 to 4,000 RPM of stall.build their torque and power at higher RPM's, you'll understand why a higher stall converter is needed.for the hp/tq rpm ranges(smog era 200hp) we're talking about here it's almost moot.

Perhaps, but put a 2400 stall in a car that has a 1400 stall and it will wake it up at a stoplight. Probably from a deep slumber to REM sleep, but still, you can notice an improvement, even in a stock-ish G-body. Naturally when you start adding power via cam/headers/intake imporovments and gearing, it changes things as you go, but you can still notice a looser converter even if you do nothing else. Again, as I will always preach, build your systems to compliement each other and you will reap the benefits, gain some smiles, and ruin some back tires. And if you do it right, you can still get some decent gas mileage.
