Just wondering who out there is running a 9.5" converter with 3000ish stall in their AOD SC's? I just installed one last night in my XR7 (with 3.73 gears) and I'm not so sure about it. I have only drove a few miles since the install, but it seems like an awful lot of stall to me.
I also installed a Lentech Valvebody, and with the slipping of the converter, I can't even feel the car shift form one gear to the next. When ever I push the gas, or the car is under load (going up a hill), the rpm's instantly jump to 3000-3200. It seems like it takes a lot of effort when trying to gently cruise up to highway speed. It does take off like crazy when you get into the gas hard, but seems incredibly sloppy and lazy under normal acceleration. Is this just something that I will get used to with time?
Also, I'm concerned about heat. I have a B&M plate cooler mounted up front with good air flow. Do you think that will be enough?
