C32 AMG
As far as I know, there is no one offering "production" higher stall converter. However, there are a number of tranny shops that can modify factory one to custom spec.

Personally, I like the stall on C32 they way it is. Higher stall usually gives that "rubber-band" feel in everyday traffic. As far as performance increase - there is still a lot of power to be had without going inside the tranny.

My C32 is sort of jerky of the line. Around 1800 rpms in first the tranny almost feels like it is locking. It still feels jerky when I set the gear to first also. Any Ideas?

And my motorcycle with a measly 140hp runs 10.9 at the track. It is a function of weight and not HP. How much does your vette weigh?

My dealer would not do this for me, they said it would take having the car in for a "while" I call BS because it should be a simple reflash, no more than 20 minutes.
