<VV> STALL SPEED TORQUE CONVERTER

[Geoffrey A Johnson]

The heat is a consideration.   There is a lot more slip.   The tranny in 
my V8 has a variable pitch TC.  I have it on a toggle on the dash. 
Turning to hight stall lets it launch much quicker.   Raises the stall 
about 800 RPM.
Is anyone modifying corvair TC's for higher stall currently?
