Can a torque converter make your car faster?
A higher stall torque converter will let your car accelerate better because the car will be taking off at the rpm range where it is making the most power. But you don’t want a stall speed that is too high either. Camshafts can affect performance by altering your torque curve.

When to use a high stall speed torque converter?
Drag racing engines produce power at high RPM, so drag racers will often use a converter with a high stall speed, which will slip until the engine is producing maximum power. Diesel trucks put out most of their power at low RPM, so a torque converter with a low stall speed is the best way to get moving with a heavy load.
Why do drag racers use a torque converter?
The stall speed is a key factor, because it determines how and when power will be delivered to the transmission under all conditions. Drag racing engines produce power at high RPM, so drag racers will often use a converter with a high stall speed, which will slip until the engine is producing maximum power.
When to use a lock up torque converter?
The Banks Billet Torque Converter is tuned to provide a stall speed that is optimal for Banks Power systems. Torque converter slippage is important during acceleration, but it becomes a liability once the vehicle reaches cruising speed. That’s why virtually all modern torque converters use a lock-up clutch.

When do you need a high stall speed torque converter?
If your vehicle has been modified to enhance performance, you probably need a torque converter with a higher stall speed. If the stall speed isn’t high enough, the car won’t be making power when you launch and you’ll bog off the line. If your setup is really mismatched, the engine may want to stall whenever you attempt to shift into gear at idle.
How does a torque converter improve vehicle acceleration?
By redirecting fluid flow, the converter multiplies the torque produced by the engine enough to propel a vehicle down the road. Most converters multiply torque by a ratio of at least 2:1, improving vehicle acceleration substantially. What does it mean when a torque converter locks up?
How does a stator in a torque converter work?
The stator incorporates a one-way clutch, which has the ability to redirect the fluid flow inside the converter. By redirecting fluid flow, the converter multiplies the torque produced by the engine enough to propel a vehicle down the road. Most converters multiply torque by a ratio of at least 2:1, improving vehicle acceleration substantially.
