Hi Eric, I'm currently running Dex VI in the Pacer, have tried Dex 3 and the high viscosity Allison TES295 fluid in the past. Never saw a noticeable difference in stall speed between the 3. PM me if you like, I'll fill you in with whatever I can.

Reflashing this convertor, too risky. Have a known good enough thing here.
I know just about all the info on the site is about using thicker fluid to lower stall, I'm looking to increase stall as much as possible.
I believe specific gravity is likely the ultimate factor in stall,
So for my type F, using the formula, 141.5/API of 31.5 plus 131.5=.8498
a thinner fluid like their Dexron VI syntethetic with a API of 35 would be a .8681 SG
This is 1.0215% thinner than the type F.
The ATI 0w-8 weight might be a option, I know there are other synthetic fluids out there with real thin weights.
