Hey guys...just installed an EA Stage II with 9.5" LU torque converter... Everything seems to be shifting and working good. Only thing I'm not too sure about is why the engine keeps stalling out as soon as I put it in reverse. Wasn't too sure if this is normal with a smaller converter.
The only way it doesn't stall is if I increase the RPM's prior to switching into reverse. However doing this causes the trans to slam into reverse pretty hard, and if I don't keep the RPM's up it will eventually stall out. Occasionally it still stalls out immediately, even after increasing the RPM's before making the switch into reverse.
One more thing which seems a little strange is when I switch into Neutral the engine RPM's spike pretty high for about 10-15 seconds before settling back down.
Scanmaster readings @ idle:
O2: 531-636
AF: 05
L8: 33-40
BAT: 13.3
Int: 128
BL: 134
CLE: 168-170
ATS: 126
R: 850-900
TPS: .44
IAC: 10-11
MAL: 00
