Wow, .5 to 1 second increase in the quarter for a healthy car. That is probably the best power/$ mod even if only the .5 is seen. That's a huge 1/4 improvement. I'm basing this on an informative post above, and not LETs .4 estimate, which is still impressive. I assume you could do the 208/202/210? Or any Benz with an M113/112?

from a drag racing standpoint- a stall converter is one of the best mods. when i built a street/strip fuel injected S10- i picked up well over a second. not saying that will happen in this car- but there is certainly some gains to be had. nicely done LET

Haven't seen the question answered yet.

What is the stall on this HSTC???
What is stock?

I'd be in for one if I had some basic information on what it is I'm paying for.
Thanks!

The stock unit hits full stall at around 1700-1800 with slicks - the modded unit is good for about 2500-2800 at flash stall, less on street tires.

Your actual stall speed will depend on power output and available traction.

I know in my Crossfire(same transmission) it would only stall to 2000-2100 stock and I had a custom TC built up as well that bumped it up to 2600 and is still VERY streetable. I even fabbed up a custom external tranny cooler setup to keep the temps at bay. I have yet to make it out to the track for results(since I couldn't launch above 1200rpms at Famoso........I was on my street tires) but will be racing Feb. 7th.

If anybody needs their TC installed in Las Vegas I can do the install for a nominal fee. I work on M-B's(and most other high end/exotics) every day.
Very kind offer.

For those of us nowhere near Vegas - what's a reasonable labor estimate for this (hours?).

Stealership here charges $125/hour x 6 hours= $750 plus tax and tranny fluid to install retail.

Wow. I would look to a competent Euro shop in the 80-dollar range.

You could always try a warranty claim for Rear Main Seal replacement, and try the old "while you're in there...."

not to thread jack, but since LET back into developing hardware again. Any chance, LET will finish that twin turbo conversion kit they were working on before?

i'd rather just drop $7-8k on a twin turbo kit then to keep lego building my way up the supercharger.

Depending on the shop, I was told anywhere from 3hrs on up to 8hrs.

Brandon at C3P would be the one to beg for that one.

I think it just turned out to be too much for them to put it into a reliable consumer package for the masses.

LET Motorsports is proud to announce the release of the final piece of the performance puzzle - The >>>LET high-stall Torque Converter (HSTC)<<<

This modified factory unit is designed to put more of the power you already have to the ground, without sacrificing drivability at all. Some customers have reported better-than-stock drivability with the HSTC installed !!!

Stall Speed is increased several hundred RPM to a more performance-oriented level, which varies depending on your supporting mods. The low- and midrange are substantially improved, with no loss in top end - the HSTC retains all factory lockup characteristics, as well as an improved Stall-to-Torque Ratio (STR)

This unit will net you a 0.250-0.400 second reduction of your quarter-mile times, and possibly more. Thousands of development miles have been put on these modified units with no failures and no warranty issues, so you can remain confident in this mod for years to come. Use of a factory core means no flagging or refusal of warranty work.

The HSTC is an ideal first mod, as well as being a great final mod to complete your performance package. The HSTC is docile around town, yet enhances your car's acceleration unlike any other mod available, at any price.

Pricing is set at $1200.00, with an additional (refundable) core charge.

Promotional pricing, for the first run of units, will be offered at $999.99 !!!! (plus shipping)


Please add your name to the list below to guarantee your spot - this promotion ends February 28th !!!


Yes! I'm interested in the HSTC !!!
