4,000 rpm stall speed?!!!?!! WTF?
If you haven't heard the transmissions in these cars is crap. Might as well be made of glass. Don't waste your money. The only power-adder mod you have is a cold air intake. Why on earth would you consider and upgraded torque converter with a ridiculously high stall speed?

Well you obviously know how bad the autotragic trannys are.

4000? That's ridiculously high if you read correct. I'd assume you read that wrong? You know how irritating that thing would be to drive every day? Stalls can be good for your trans if they're chosen in the right range. I'd say like 1500 over stock would be perfect. If you only raced it every once in a while, your trans would actually be healthier and last longer b/c of the new lack of friction. It would alleviate a lot of the heat buildup when sitting at lights. I'm actually looking into having mine custom modded here so we'll see how that goes.

a higher stall has the effect of a manual transmission holding higher RPMs then perfectly slipping the clutch to the point of traction ...so the gains are three fold
whats the difference in HP from the stock stall speed of say 2500 rpms to the new stall
beingable to launch at the RPM and have much better speed before lock reducing wheel spin
and reduced rotational mass ...
if i still had my car and well more importantly money i planned on an '03 oddessey 4th gear swap,looking at weather the ridgeline final would swap and either trying to moddify the 6mt HLSD into fitting or throwing in a phantom grip oh ya and a stall
