wallaby Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 The biggest change I noticed when installing my 2500 converter, was the loss of engine braking. With the stock converter I hardly had to use the brakes at all exiting the freeway; I just let off the gas and 3000rpm big-block slowed me down like I had opened a parachute. Now with the high stall converter it is almost like shifting into neutral when you let up on the throttle and the car tends to feel as if it is coasting instead of slowing. There is a big difference when driving mountain roads as I'm using the brakes just to keep the car from gaining speed whenever it points downhill.
