converter fallback
bikeguy307:
A stall check is done with the trans warmed up, you go to WOT against the trans brake with no launch chip.
JrFuel Hayden:
Our converter guy said not to do that, at least not too long on the WOT, he says it can overheat the trans fluid and maybe more important it can bend the blades.
I was helping out a JF team running in Comp at Sonoma and he was having a problem missing , and insearch of the issue he would do a "stall check" to see if it would miss after trying some fixes.
It burned up the converter and made the fluid smell real burnt.

bikeguy307:
Well you should never do it to find an engine miss, and to do a stall check you should never be more than a short 2 count. Its something that should be done once just to have the data and then only if you are suspecting a problem. Stall checks are not as needed today with the use of data recorders and playback tachs but it is still useful data to have.
JrFuel Hayden:
I agree on the no more than a 2 count
THE FRENCHTOWN FLYER:
I once heard a MoTech (Chryseler Corp.) say a SS/AA Hemi Super Stocker sitting on the starting line at full stall sees a trans fluid temperature rise of 100*F - per second!
