How do the longbed two piece driveshafts treat you guys at the strip and does the stock carrier bearing handle it good

bigjimzlll · 07-10-2003, 11:41 PM

so far so good..I do keep an eye on it

383 stroker or bigjimzlll, I would be interested in what the stall speed of your converter is if you don't mind telling us that. Some people keep certain things to themselves and I understand that.

Thanks again.

I knew a guy running high 12's, he had a 3800 flash on his verter...I don't remember what his advertised stall was.

My stall speed is 4000. it foot brakes to around 3100 rpm. I went low 12s with a 2500 stall(w/N20)

I have a 11" TCI converter. It's around 2800rpm stall.

Thanks guys. I have a 3500 which I can foot brake to 3000, so I'll give that a try and see what happens. If it's not enough then I can get it bumped to 3800 before I need a new one.
