    Lets you rev up so you can launch higher I think.  But automatics are evil and a thing to be swapped into the scrap pile!

      Anyone here know what a stall converter is/was in an automatic transmission? 

      Old school launch control :)

      Not all automatics.....I had a turbo 400 with a manual shift valve body and a torque converter from a Vega and man did that thing shift. Sideways shifting into second at 60. :)

            Proper English and complete sentences would be more professional too. Just a suggestion.

              I was always taught that in a professional setting, emails should always be sent with even more consideration than verbal interactions.  Written word is like a bullet, once it's sent you don't get it back and there is always a record.

                I have to contact a vendor for work - and our companies primary contact is "Shadow" - GM is "Stone" - and Sales Manager is "Janey".....

                .....I'm thinking this "company" provides day jobs for all the Mortal Combat characters....

                  I never got the nickname thing in a professional setting.  Sometimes I feel foolish for going by 'Bob' instead of Robert.

                            Still have a set of wheels for you if you want them haha. Otherwise I'm perfectly fine with them sitting in my living room.
