Hey Guys,
Got the stallie in and took it for it's first drive yesterday in traffic....
WOW...
Unfortunately TCE dont give you an exact stall speed, so i'm having trouble telling people just how big the stall is, and never having had a high stall car i dont have much to compare it to!
The car pulls away nice from lights at about 2000 Rpm, but i can feel its still slipping ( of course). if you stand on it off the lights it goes somewhere near the 4000 mark!
Anyway.. I'm a bit worried about cooking the oil, even though we stuck in a big permacool cooler to try and help out.
Can anyone give me any tips on how best to drive with a big stalled car!?
I'm after ideas on how to cruise, how best to take off in traffic, should i be trying to drive around idling, or revving, or locked up? (which is hard.. cause at 4000 i'm doing some crazy speeds! - Not traffic friendly!).
Also if any of you drag racers have any tips on launching a car with a high stall it would be appreciated too!
Cheers!
