Re: Converter size differences?

Jesus, chill out on the free revving thing. Yes I know, the higher the converter stall the smaller you go because of the pitch and all. When out of the stall range of the converter, would the lighter weight of a smaller converter make a noticible difference in the way it revs out, like a lightened flywheel would on a manual car? And no, I don't care how it revs in park, I was trying to basically find if the difference in rotating mass is noticible. You're missing what i'm trying to say. I also fully understand how a converter works with the slipping and all. I'm basically asking, 9.5" vs. say a restalled or stock 12". Will the lighter weight be noticible when OUT of the converter's stall range, say at 5000 or so rpm. I know the smaller one is more efficent and what I would want, but will I be able to notice the lessened rotating mass, just wondering for ****s and giggles. I WOULD get the 9.5 anyways, not the cheaper 12.
