Either the stall will go way down, or way up.
BTW, anybody attempting to check stall speed with the rear wheels on the ground ,will find themselves with a long vacation from NHRA. This is in response to the fatality at Fontana recently.

i have to agree with marty ,,the track preperation has alot to to do with consistancy of 60' times ,,i know if you go on a saturday test and tune track will not be as good as a sunday points day race also,the time of day will affect track performance 12:00-2:30 with sun beating on the track will make for a greasy track

very true, however a broken converter can do all sorts of strange stuff. as for cheching the stall, thats what a data logger, and testing are for
