Ford Mustang: anyone use Precision Industries Stallion?

anyone use Precision Industries Stallion?
Hey there,
I have been contemplating dropping down the 700 bucks for the P.I. Stallion
torque converter, but before I do so I wanted to hear some comments about it.
I currently have 3.73's and a transGo shift kit. Everyone tells me to just
ditch the AOD trans and swap in a T-5, but I'm not too thrilled about the
reliability of T-5 transmissions. I also kind of like the fact that in the
bumper to bumper California traffic I don't need to shift or push in the clutch
all of the time. I was thinking of going with the 2800 stall w/ lockup. I
can't really figure out any true benefits of going with a non-lockup torque
converter. Is there anyone out there with a similar setup? If so, how much of
a difference does a high quality high stall converter make? Any input will be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Kyle

Kyle I have a TCS (Canadian Company) custom built High Stall (2200 to 2400)
lock up converter. The stall speed was chosen based on the power band
characteristics of the stock engine. As I understand it the converter will
allow the engine to rev into it's power band faster with less lag time and
immediate acceleration. For the stock 5.0 HO this occurs at about 2200 rpm.
I was told by the manufacturer that the correct High Stall can shave up to
1/2 sec. in the 1/4. Follow this link

Re: anyone use Precision Industries Stallion?
Agree completely. I had a PI Stallion converter on my 95GT (stock engine)
and it was a perfect match. When you mashed the gas the converter would
flash to the power band and stay there. What a difference in acceleration!
Highly recommended.
FYI, the reason I "had" a PI stallion and don't have it any longer is that I
prefer to row my own gears and converted to a 5-speed. It is not as fast as
with the PI converter but, for me, it's more fun.
