Hey guys looking to get some info on line pressure. Truck has built engine and trans with gorend j extreme disc, mike l trim springs, cut converter flow valve, 2 shims and spring. Truck should be about 1200hp and sees very few street miles. Now let's talk line pressure at idle pressure is about 200-210 at 1500 rpm 360 and 3500 about 380. This seems too high for any application but I also don't build these every day. The trans shifts perfect other than the pressure but I do have a problem with the converter only stalling at about 2200-2300 trying to make boost off the line which is odd because normal driving it seems to be between that 2700-3000 stall. Thanks guys for the help.

Which trans? Early 5 speed? LBZ/LMM 6 speed? LML or L5P 6 speed? Who built it? Which kit was used?

Are you pushing through the brakes at 2200-2300 RPM, or does the engine just stall there?

what color pressure spring? seems about right for the 2 shims and i think orange or red spring on pressures. thats what mine ran at.

line pressure shouldnt affect your converter stall speed that i am aware of. you sure its a J in there? how many miles on it and the trans?

It is the orange spring just seems a little high to me. But yes it is a j extreme disc only about 300 miles on it

You have an aftermarket spring with 2 shims, and a modded converter valve. How much do you think it should have? Remember stock is over 200, and this isn't a 47/48 Chrysler trans
