We can take a look at your JW converter for you and modify it to provide more stall if necessary. That converter is manufactured from a 245mm core which has numerous stator and impeller fin angle options. Your converter may not have the correct combination of stator and impeller fin angle for your combination to provide the stall speed that you desire. Regardless of advertised stall speed any given torque converter will provide a range of stall based on the load that is subjected to.

We are a site sponsor and offer member discounts. Let me know if we can help you out.

Thanks,

Pete
