Well flashing and stalling are two different things. Flash happens when you hit the gas quickly from an idle and a stall you use the brake to bring the rpm up. As for the stall, I don't know, I have a manual.

You also don't have a 2200.
But yeah I've heard it referred to as "powerbraking", "stalling" but never as "flashing". Just put it in gear, get on the brakes and see how high the RPM will go. It won't go any higher than the stall speed of the converter.

Neither do you so what whas the point in that?
Depending on the convert, maybe not stock but whatever, flashing works better.

lol you said but you have a manual... you also don't have a 2200. Sorry I thought you might be one of those who see's 2.2 or 2200 and thinks that the conversation is about an ecotec. My bad!
But the stall speed between an eco and OHV may be different even with the same trans, since the rev limiter and powerbands are different.

All 3rd gens used the same convertor IIRC. 2400 stall or something (actually rings in around 2200 I think...no tach in the car)?

help if anything, if you use it correctly.

The Stall Speed on the stock TC is 2375 rpm, the car will either stall(if you have really good brakes) or creep if you exceed this rpm. DACCO(who I used) and TranStar Industries botth have higher stall converters in 2560 rpm(what I used) and 2760/2795 rpm(what I should have used) available. These are good for NA applications, if you are going to boost or nitrous, get the Yank 2800 rpm TC. If you go with the DACCO or TranStar, talk to your local tranny shops that specialize in performance tranny work (not AAMCO, All Transmission World, Cottman or any other Chain Transmission Shops) and make sure you get the one with the heavyest TC Clutch.

I was soooo close
who notices 25 RPM anyway?
I have a Yank 2800 in my garage (from the ebay auction everyone bought from). It looks pretty beat up (used)...
