A common question is can you daily drive a Trimatic high stall converter? Simple answer is yes with a level of awareness. We recommend buying a high quality stall converter like the TCI brand as these are a "tight" converter and allows nice daily driving without the overheating & slipping problems. The higher the stall speed you choose, the less comfortable daily driving experience you will get. Most comfortable daily driven high stall speeds are 2200 rpm, 3000 rpm and 3500 rpm. If you are unsure, we are happy to help and will walk you through a process to achieve the correct high stall converter to suit your needs. Our expert sales team are experienced engine builders & enthusies with decades of experience to help.

Some quick reference points for the Holden 253, 308, 355 V8 Trimatic Converter selection.

  • Stock & Daily Driving: 1600–1800 RPM (will suit a very small camshaft upgrade)
  • Mild Street & mild camshaft upgrade: 2200–2400 RPM stall speeds for daily driving and stock setups.
  • Performance Street & Cruising: 2500 to 3200 RPM stall speeds for camshafts 218 to 230 deg @ 050
  • High Stall / Strip: 3500 to 4000 RPM stall speeds with anti-balloon plates & camshafts above 230 deg @ 050

The Holden V8 flexplates, these OEM flexplates suffer from broken flexplates that fracture around the flange bolts, dont use the "plate" to fix this as it does not work, the fault is still behind this plate. We strongly recommend upgrading and replacing your OEM flexplate / Driveplate with the best flexplates in stock if you intend to increase the HP and Torque output of your Holden 308 V8.
