Why are your revs different at cruising speeds?

As for freeway, I havent done a run on it yet so I'm not sure how it will differ. Based on 80kph zones I've been through yesterday I dont think it will slip at 100kph, I doubt it will be noticable. Fortunatly the electronic lock up is still fully opperational so it will still lock the converter even well under stall rpm's.

Don't the auto's go into direct drive (no clutch or whatever) in 4th anyway? So at cruising speeds it shouldn't be slipping? Could be way wrong here though

Converter lockup is available in any gear. I think I remember the AU manual saying lockup will occur above 80kph??
Those playing with AU edit at the moment would be able to confirm the converter lockup strategy for us...

Ahh I see, now get it to the track!
Ill race you heads up in the torry on the 22nd! :P Just to remind me why I shouldnt have got rid of the AU. If I can concentrate with all the (death) rattles at over 100km/hr.

Somehow I think the torry might still have the edge. I know you are not going to race it unless its got a suprise or 2 in it :P Anyhow, I'll still give you a race, its all good fun. ![]()

Do you need a chip to run this mod or can the convertor just be swapped for the stally??
As in does the stall convertor need to be tuned to the ecu? Or is it a straight swap?

Straight swap. No tuning required.
All Falcon Autos have a stall converter in them anyhow, this is simply a straight swap to an aftermarket one.. no different to changing exhaust systems. The only main difference is this stall needs (NEEDS, not should have, NEEDS) a big aftermarket trans cooler as well or the auto will cook.

If your auto is in good condition and the trans fluid kept cool, it doesnt harm your auto and certainly will not kill your car. All up cost including cooler was around $1200

just makes ya wanna run out and get one...lol,
The real good news is that Casper will go down the 1/4mile with each mod he gets and you will be able to see the difference that particular mod has made to the performance of the car, Which is good for all of us wanting to know what mod will do what. The proof is all in the Timeslip

Ahhhh Casper, always planning something. Good to hear you are happy once again with Brendens handy work. I feel very sorry for your rear tyres.
Walkinshaw- As for the Red EB, it was built for a good laugh. LUKE

Just remember, a hi stall is not something you need to put on your insurance.. there is simply no way they would ever know!

heres some pics of the trans cooler.. its basically almost as tall as the radiator... and reasonably wide too. I didnt have a factory one but I'm guessing this is significantly larger.
