Upgrading to a Holeshot torque converter with a higher stall speed can give you better acceleration from a dead stop. It allows the engine to launch the car at a higher RPM, where more torque and power are available. This can be especially important if other modifications (like larger cams) have reduced your low end power and torque. The Holeshot 2000 has a stall speed of 1900-2100 RPM (based on an engine producing 230 lb. ft. of torque at 2500 RPM), so it is best suited for mild performance applications, such as vehicles with minor engine modifications that don't produce more than 350 horsepower. In addition to better launch capability, the Holeshot also provides more strength. The impeller and turbine are furnace brazed, and many of the components are brand new, including the precision steel alloy pump drive tube, the heavy duty needle bearing between the stator and impeller (not a thrust washer), the turbine hub, and the springs and rollers in the stator. Please Note: High stall torque converters can build extra heat, so supplementary transmission cooling is recommended to avoid premature transmission failure. This converter should not be used with a transbrake, and it requires a small (10-3/4") bolt circle flexplate or dual pattern flexplate.
